What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In summer, Ballinger Common has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in

Ballinger Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Ballinger Common?
Great Missenden station, about 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
