How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. For an evening event in Piddington, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Church fêtes, at churches such as St Lawrence's Church, are a natural home for a chip van. Within about 4 miles is the Chilterns National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
We take the van to events all over the HP14 postcode area and the streets around it. From King Street, Queen Street and Piddington Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- 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
