- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Questions from Bledlow
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Bledlow, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
