Questions from Great Brickhill
What’s the nearest station to Great Brickhill?
Bow Brickhill station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Is Great Brickhill close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
For event organisers in Great Brickhill
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Lighting for early or late service
- Clear of the shot and sound

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Great Brickhill: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
