Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to South Heath?
The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
