In winter near Saunderton, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Saunderton; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why Saunderton hosts choose us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Choose a lit spot for the van
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Questions from Saunderton
Which station is closest to Saunderton?
Saunderton has its own station: Saunderton station.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Do you cover Saunderton?
We do. We serve events in Saunderton and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
