Ford: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Ford from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you cover Ford?
We do. Ford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
What else we do in Ford
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send round an allergy question
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What a fish and chip van costs

Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Business events near Ford
Ford is about 4 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Staff events in Ford are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Ford is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Ford to Oxford (15 miles away).
Central London is about 39 miles from Ford, well within our area. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
Staff events anywhere in HP17 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many staff. That could mean a staff event at a home on Linden Way and Chapel Road, wherever the van can park.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For an end-of-day event in Ford, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
