What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What affects the price in Pitch Green
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Pitch Green?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Pitch Green
See our pricing or the cost guide.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Pitch Green
Is Pitch Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll tell you straight away whether we’re available.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
