FAQs for Steeple Claydon
How far is Steeple Claydon from London?
About 49 miles from central London.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Working with your venue
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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A lit spot for evening service
- Away from bedroom windows
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
