About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Wendover Dean questions
Can you come to a school fair in Wendover Dean?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do you need on the pitch?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Information about power and water
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Summer events in Wendover Dean have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
