Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A summer party in Hedsor stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We check access for the van and quote.

Common questions in Hedsor
What’s the nearest station to Hedsor?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you serve after a service at Cores End United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
- 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
