Common questions in Tyringham
How far is Tyringham from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Tyringham?
Wolverton station, about 4.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Tyringham?
The home only needs to provide a parking spot and a plan for residents’ diets.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:

- Care staff treats

- VAT, if it applies
- How many hours the van serves
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
