Bletchley: your questions answered
Is Bletchley close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Waterhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
