Common questions in Lower Assendon
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to Lower Assendon?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lower Assendon is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Lower Assendon, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Send allergies to us in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
