Festive bookings around Fern
Fern is about 2 miles north-east of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire.

We take the van to 263 places in Buckinghamshire. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 14 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Little Marlow CofE School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Bourne End station, roughly 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.

Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Sausage and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Questions from Fern
How far is Fern from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Fern too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fern.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Afterwards, we pack up.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
