The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. By late September, sunset in Chesham Bois is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips

- Put bins and napkins by the van
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.

Common questions in Chesham Bois
How far is Chesham Bois from London?
About 25 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you cover Chesham Bois?
We do. Chesham Bois is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
