Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. A summer party in Hawridge stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Hawridge: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Hawridge?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can the van come to Hawridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hawridge and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why Hawridge hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
