What comes out of the fryer

What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter parties in Lewknor get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- We agree exactly where the van parks.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lewknor
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.
Is Lewknor close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
What affects the price in Lewknor
