Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Questions from Great Milton
Is Great Milton close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
