Britwell questions
Is Britwell close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your party in Britwell. In Britwell, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Send us a picture of the drive
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
