Woolpack Corner: your questions answered
Could you trade in Wattle Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Woolpack Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Woolpack Corner
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Food your guests will love
