We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for garden parties and summer get-togethers and village fêtes and school fairs.

Widmer End questions
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’ll follow the site rules.
Is Widmer End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Light matters for evening service: in Widmer End, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
