Common questions in Knotty Green
Is Knotty Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Knotty Green?
Beaconsfield station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
A chip van compared with other options
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Nearby historic houses include Cliveden (4.6 miles south) and Hughenden Manor (4.8 miles north-west). If you are shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property.

The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Knotty Green, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about vehicles.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Send the unit base address and directions
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
