What affects the price in Oving
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish

Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Oving
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Is Oving close to London?

What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

- Flag any coeliac crew
We work to the lunch time on the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. On a winter shoot near Oving, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- You get an access check and a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
