Should I sort the food myself?
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: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. 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 is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your party, and we will check the date and send a price.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Woodrow is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

FAQs for Woodrow
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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.
Is Woodrow too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
