Party fish and chip van in Woodlands

How the day works

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 at the time you asked for. Sunset in Woodlands drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check access for the van and send a quote.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How our party fish and chip van works in Woodlands

It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Popular choices include curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement parties and anniversaries and engagement parties.

Throwing a party in Woodlands? A chip van keeps you out of the kitchen, at home, at a hall or at a club. Mention any parking restrictions. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Where the van can park in Woodlands

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

Woodlands 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.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • Parking and the way in
  • How far we travel
  • Numbers
  • The date and time of year

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Details that help

The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • The address or venue name
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • A picture of where the van would go

Send us the date, the address or TW7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Make sure the van can park legally
  • A picture of the parking spot helps
  • Let your neighbours know
  • Tell us how many children are coming

Have bins and napkins by the van.

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Common questions in Woodlands

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Which station is closest to Woodlands?

Isleworth station, in Woodlands itself.

Do you come to Woodlands?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Woodlands is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

What do children eat?

Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Do you need power or water from us?

Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.

How far ahead should we book a party?

Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
