Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Tetsworth
Is Tetsworth close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Tetsworth?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How we price a fish and chip van visit

- Parking and the way in

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Residents generally gather round the hatch once service starts. In summer, Tetsworth 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.

- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
