- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Cuddington
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Cuddington?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
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.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
