About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Weedon, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Weedon
How far is Weedon from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
