Pond Park questions
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.
What’s the nearest station to Pond Park?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to Pond Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Pond Park. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Pond Park? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a treat residents will talk about, a fish and chip van visit is a great choice. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
