The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

FAQs for Bledlow Ridge
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.

About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Bledlow Ridge until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Preparing for the day

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Bledlow Ridge
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan bins near the queue
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Where the van can park in Bledlow Ridge
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
