Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Name a contact in the production office
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In December, daylight in Tattenhoe ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Tattenhoe questions
What’s the nearest station to Tattenhoe?
Bletchley station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Is Tattenhoe close to London?
About 45 miles from central London.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tattenhoe.
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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- The date and time of year

- The minimum booking
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
