How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Coleshill suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Questions from Coleshill
What’s the nearest station to Coleshill?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 2 miles away.
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 bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Fit the visit around routines
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team

A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
