When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. A chip van makes sure nobody goes home hungry. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A quote that spells everything out
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Something for guests to gather round

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Occasions we serve in Grendon Underwood
It’s ideal for outdoor and rustic weddings, where there’s room to park the van close by.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Evening wedding food
- Rustic farm weddings
- Vow renewal parties
- Engagement celebrations
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Leonard, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in.
