A fish and chip van or other catering?
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

FAQs for Chalfont Common
Do you come out to small places like Chalfont Common?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van come to Chalfont Common?
We do. Chalfont Common is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In Chalfont Common, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- 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 your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
