FAQs for Burcott
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Burcott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
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 do residents’ portions?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Burcott?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Some homes in Burcott have links with a local church such as Church of St James, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- A clear list of what’s included
- When final numbers are due
- The van’s size and access needs
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Make it a regular event.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
