About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Check the van can park on site
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.

Common questions in Gawcott
How far is Gawcott from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Gawcott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you cover Gawcott?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Gawcott is within our area and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if it is raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why Gawcott hosts choose us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
