For event organisers in Woosehill

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Woosehill
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For anniversary celebrations and weddings in a marquee or garden, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
A farm or garden wedding near Woosehill suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Put bins near the van
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Common questions in Woosehill
Which station is closest to Woosehill?
Wokingham station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Woosehill Community Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you come to Woosehill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Woosehill is within our area and the rest of Wokingham. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
