Common questions in Cuddington
Could you trade in Nonsuch Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Dunstan?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Cuddington?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. A summer party in Cuddington stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
