A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Show us where the van would go
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Denham drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Denham: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Denham from London?
About 18 miles from central London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
