Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Simpson, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
FAQs for Simpson
How far is Simpson from London?

The closest is Bow Brickhill station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
How much is fish and chip van hire?

What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
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.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Fit the visit around routines

- Check the spot with your manager
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
