Questions from Middle Claydon
Is Middle Claydon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How many portions do we need?
Generally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Middle Claydon.

How it works

- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Before we arrive

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: 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 bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
