Christmas parties in Buckland: local tips
Buckland is about 5 miles east of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. In and around Buckland, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. Buckland is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 16 miles away.
If a church like Church of All Saints is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. Train travellers will want to know that Wendover station, about 3.2 miles south-west, is the nearest station. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 4 miles of Buckland, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over HP22 and the streets around it. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on Peggs Lane and New Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Buckland, we also cover Aston Clinton (1 mile west), Broughton (3 miles north-west) and Bedgrove (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Aylesbury (5 miles west), High Wycombe (12 miles south), Chesham (8 miles south-east), Amersham (10 miles south-east), Beaconsfield (14 miles south) and Chalfont St Peter (15 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Trenchard Museum (1.9 miles south) and Stoke Mandeville Hospital (3.8 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Haddington Hill and Dancersend.

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Buckland in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

FAQs for Buckland
How far is Buckland from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Buckland?
Wendover station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you come to Buckland?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckland. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

What else we do in Buckland
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
