Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
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 work through them with you.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Totteridge
Can you come to a school fair in Totteridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Which station is closest to Totteridge?
High Wycombe station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer events in Totteridge have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

A chip van compared with other options
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
