Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp. For sports days and church fêtes, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips and more.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Widmer End
Is Widmer End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Widmer End?
High Wycombe station, about 2.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
