Fresh fish and chips in Quainton
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For an end-of-day event in Quainton, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van

Corporate fish and chip catering in Quainton, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re frequently asked to cater leaving dos and warehouse, depot and site teams, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Quainton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask facilities about access
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Have a back-up for special diets
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

What else we do in Quainton
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Quainton
Is Quainton close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Quainton?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
