Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We are frequently asked to cater school summer fairs and food for volunteers, serving cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.
A fête near Ashendon might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we will plan for it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What affects the price in Ashendon
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree who removes waste
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Ashendon
Is Ashendon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Ashendon?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 3.9 miles south-east of the centre.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
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 happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an evening event in Ashendon, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
