About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Common questions in Ibstone
Which station is closest to Ibstone?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Ibstone, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- 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
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
