For event organisers in Medmenham
Organising a club, school or community event in Medmenham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Garden visits in Medmenham work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Questions from Medmenham
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 follow the site rules.
Is Medmenham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Ask about smaller portions
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Make it a regular event.
