Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
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. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask the venue about the van
- Check the hall has an urn
- Plan for a few extra people
- Plan seating for older guests
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Parslow's Hillock
How far is Parslow's Hillock from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Parslow's Hillock?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you come to the house?
Often, yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In winter, it’s dark in Parslow's Hillock by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in
