Thorney is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 17 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Catherine Catholic Primary School, suit a chip van. If a church like St. Leonard's is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

For event organisers in Thorney
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Common questions in Thorney
How far is Thorney from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Thorney?
Iver station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
