Fencott questions
What’s the nearest station to Fencott?
Islip station, about 3.2 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Murcott Mission Room?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, 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.
Can the van come to Fencott?
Yes, we do. Fencott is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Around midsummer it stays light in Fencott until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: 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.
Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
