A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For an evening event in Whitchurch, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.

- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive

Common questions in Whitchurch
Is Whitchurch close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Whitchurch?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you cover Whitchurch?
We do. We serve events in Whitchurch and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Numbers
- How far we travel
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
