Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Woodford Wells
What’s the nearest station to Woodford Wells?
The closest is Highams Park station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can the van park in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Woodford Wells.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Woodford Wells, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
