Micklefield: your questions answered
How far is Micklefield from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter fairs in Micklefield are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
