How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. A summer party in Middle Claydon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

FAQs for Middle Claydon
Is Middle Claydon close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
