A chip van near Fenny Stratford
How the day 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. Light matters for evening service: around Fenny Stratford, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Fenny Stratford: your questions answered
Is Fenny Stratford close to London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Could you trade in Waterhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
