Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. 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.

Shenley Church End questions
Is Shenley Church End close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in South Loughton Valley park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
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 for a clear quote.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
