Hyde Heath questions
What’s the nearest station to Hyde Heath?
The closest is Amersham station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Hyde Heath?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What time will you serve?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
