A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

What else we do in Leckhampstead
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Tell us how many children are coming
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a late-May party in Leckhampstead, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Leckhampstead: your questions answered
Is Leckhampstead too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Leckhampstead from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
