The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In Broughton, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time

What affects the price in Broughton
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Broughton
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Broughton close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How many people should we cater for?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
