The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In December, it’s dark in Great Missenden by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

FAQs for Great Missenden
How far is Great Missenden from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Is Great Missenden 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.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is usually wise. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
