Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Peppard Hill
Is Peppard Hill close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come 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.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

- Lighting nearby for evening events

- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Occasions we serve in Peppard Hill
Fresh food beats a tired buffet, especially as the evening cools.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. In Peppard Hill, people book us for events such as:
- Milestone birthdays
- Garden get-togethers
- Family celebrations after a christening
- Family reunions
Nearby historic houses include Greys Court (1.9 miles north-east) and Mapledurham House (3.5 miles south-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Count children separately
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
