Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan bins near the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Count children separately
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
About our fish and chip van hire in Stratton Audley
Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. We’re often asked to cater summer garden parties and fish and chip days at care homes, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a rural spot like Stratton Audley, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Stratton Audley
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary and St Edburga: 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 will gather.
How far is Stratton Audley from London?
About 53 miles from central London.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

We do. Stratton Audley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How do you handle allergies?

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How it works
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 Stratton Audley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Stratton Audley?
If you want something everyone will enjoy, a fish and chip van is a safe and popular choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
