Long Crendon questions
What’s the nearest station to Long Crendon?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Is Long Crendon close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Plan where the queue stands.
A few lights around the van look great.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Autumn and winter parties in Long Crendon get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Share the timings for the day
