Questions from Chalkshire
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Chalkshire close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do regular visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
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.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can the van come to Chalkshire?
We do. We serve events in Chalkshire and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer visit in Chalkshire, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

What else we do in Chalkshire
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
