Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Haydon Hill
Is Haydon Hill close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Haydon Hill?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, 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.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Haydon Hill: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
