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.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Which station is closest to Newnham Murren?

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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.

What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Light matters for evening service: in Newnham Murren, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
