FAQs for Caldecote

Is Caldecote close to London?

About 48 miles from central London.

What’s the nearest station to Caldecote?

Milton Keynes Central station, about 3.5 miles south-west of the centre.

What’s on the menu?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Can the van park on grass?

Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Lunchtime bookings in Caldecote are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

  • Share the timings for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Where the van can park in Caldecote

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

From the hatch

  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips
