Questions from Tattenhoe
Do you trade at school fairs around Tattenhoe?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Which station is closest to Tattenhoe?
Bletchley station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
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.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Tattenhoe?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share pitch details
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. For an evening event in Tattenhoe, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
