Skittle Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Skittle Green?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Share the base location and route
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Update numbers if they change
- Put allergy details in writing
Fewer choices mean faster service in a lunch break.
A dining area at base helps.
Where the van can park in Skittle Green
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room for the crew to queue
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Light near the van if needed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Crew lunches
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
A chip van compared with other options
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. A van brings lunch to base. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your crew, which we agree with you beforehand. Long summer days in Skittle Green, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
