Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Fish and chip van hire in Aston Clinton, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We’re often asked to cater company team days and christmas parties, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In a smaller place like Aston Clinton, a garden party with the van on the drive is often the simplest option: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Aston Clinton: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event.

In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 typically the easier option.
