Dadford questions
How far is Dadford from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, sunset in Dadford is about 9:30pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Evening fish and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
