Party fish and chip van in Wootton, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. Whether it is family celebrations after a christening and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
A country party near Wootton is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Wootton
How far is Wootton from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Wootton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Wootton is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
For event organisers in Wootton
Organising a club, school or community event in Wootton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A summer party in Wootton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
