Fish and chip van hire in Knotty Green, cooked to order
The menu is short and classic: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We are often asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Somewhere like Knotty Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Knotty Green questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
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.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
