Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Cookley Green: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Botolph?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van go 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.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Cookley Green drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
