Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Milton Common are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Common questions in Milton Common
Is Milton Common close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
