Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Give us an idea of numbers

We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
About our fish and chip van for events in Tudeley Hale
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. For sports tournaments and crew and volunteer catering, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
A fête near Tudeley Hale might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
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.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Tudeley Hale?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Questions from Tudeley Hale
Is Tudeley Hale too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Tudeley Hale close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Tudeley Hale. At midsummer, events in Tudeley Hale stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
