Your questions about a fish and chip van in Wavendon
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Wavendon from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm the menu.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Around midsummer it stays light in Wavendon until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
