How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Evening events in Loudwater have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What’s the nearest station to Loudwater?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can the van go 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.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Running a fête for a church like Church of St Peter? A chip van draws people in.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
