A chip van near Danesfield
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. For an evening event in Danesfield, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Access that avoids crowds
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Danesfield questions
Which station is closest to Danesfield?
Marlow station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
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 to keep the queue moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
