A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Hughenden Valley
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Hughenden Valley: your questions answered
Is Hughenden Valley close to London?
About 31 miles from central London.
Is Hughenden Valley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Hughenden Valley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, it is light in Hughenden Valley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
