Common questions in Great Linford
Which station is closest to Great Linford?
Wolverton station, about 1.7 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home visit in Great Linford. Sunset in Great Linford is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Send us the date, the address or MK14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
A closer look at 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. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
