FAQs for Loudwater
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Loudwater close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Fish and chip van hire in Loudwater, fried fresh

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Loudwater, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. Fish and chips is fried to order and served hot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
