Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have plenty of guests.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Questions from Chinnor
How far is Chinnor from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
