Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Butler's Cross
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Is Butler's Cross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share any nut or allergy policies
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
