About the food

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in South Heath
What’s the nearest station to South Heath?
Great Missenden station, about 1.2 miles west of the centre.
Is South Heath too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
