Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. On a winter shoot near Burcott, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

FAQs for Burcott
Do you come out to small places like Burcott?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Burcott?
Aylesbury station, about 1.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you come to Burcott?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Burcott is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
