Party fish and chip van in Woolbeding, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. Typical bookings include garden parties and summer get-togethers and milestone birthdays, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Woolbeding, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A few lights around the van look great.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Woolbeding
Is Woolbeding 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.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Hollows?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cover Woolbeding?
We do. Woolbeding is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you park at our house?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
