How our party fish and chip van works in Woodcote Green
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for children’s parties and big birthdays.
Throwing a party in Woodcote Green? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us separate numbers for children
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Woodcote Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Woodcote Green: your questions answered
Could you trade in Carshalton Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Woodcote Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Woodcote Green is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
