Fish and chip van for events in Buckinghamshire: what to expect

The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We are often asked to cater summer fairs and sports club events and race days, serving curry sauce, chips and haddock and chips.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.
We come back with availability and a clear price.
We agree exactly where the van parks.
Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
The pitch is left tidy when we go.

What you will pay

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 event.

Around Aylesbury

You will find the van serving near Buckinghamshire UTC, Stocklake Park Community School and The Derby Arms Public House and the streets around them. Also close by are Bearbrook Combined School (0.5 miles west) and Church of St Mary (less than half a mile north). Aylesbury has its own railway station: Aylesbury station. Well-known places in the area include Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (under half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (within half a mile north). Within reach you will find Coombe Hill.

Running an event in Buckinghamshire

Rural events in Buckinghamshire frequently need traders who bring everything with them, and town events in Aylesbury, High Wycombe and Chesham need quick service for bigger crowds. A chip van handles both. Parts of Buckinghamshire are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Aylesbury: If you are organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Buckinghamshire UTC, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If visitors are coming by train, there is a station right in Aylesbury: Aylesbury station. For an evening event in Aylesbury, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

Organising for someone else?

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Food your guests will love

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

A back-up spot if the ground is soft
A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
A queue area clear of rides and games

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Buckinghamshire

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
