Questions from Willen
What’s the nearest station to Willen?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Willen?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Lighting for later visits
- A route in without tight gates
- Away from bedroom windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In summer, Willen has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Send us the date, the address or MK15 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
