FAQs for Whiteleaf
Do you come out to small places like Whiteleaf?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Whiteleaf?
Monks Risborough station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where the van can park in Whiteleaf
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer evenings in Whiteleaf stay light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. Hot food can be more welcome. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
