How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter weddings in Dora's Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Dora's Green
Is Dora's Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

What else we do in Dora's Green
Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually the easier option.
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.
