Prestwood: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Prestwood?
The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How far is Prestwood from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
For event organisers in Prestwood
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
