Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Party fish and chip van for your party in Woodgreen
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We’re often asked to cater children’s parties and engagement parties, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
In a small place like Woodgreen, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Plan cover in case of showers.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party in Woodgreen. Midsummer parties in Woodgreen stay bright until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Woodgreen questions
Do you come out to small places like Woodgreen?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at St Boniface?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Woodgreen?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
