Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Lee Gate
Which station is closest to Lee Gate?
Wendover station, about 2.4 miles north-west 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 will follow the site rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Set a time for helpers’ food
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
