Which station is closest to Amersham on the Hill?

Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van come to Amersham on the Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Amersham on the Hill and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or HP6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Away from bedroom windows
- Firm, level ground close to the home
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
