How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Light in Hazlemere lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

- The date and time of year
- Access and parking

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Hazlemere
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Hazlemere?
The closest is High Wycombe station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
We arrive at base in good time and set up.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
