Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Away from emergency access
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In summer, Micklefield has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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’re done.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

What’s the nearest station to Micklefield?
The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Micklefield and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
