Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Shenley: your questions answered
Can the van park in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is Shenley close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
