Fresh fish and chips in Aylesbury
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
About our fish and chip van for events in Aylesbury
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. For church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and village fêtes, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Fairs, shows and festivals happen across Aylesbury. A fish and chip van brings a queue. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December events in Aylesbury lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us

Fairs, fêtes and events in Aylesbury
Aylesbury is about 38 miles north-west of London, in Buckinghamshire. Events in Aylesbury are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. We take the van to 263 places across Buckinghamshire. Our bookings stretch from Aylesbury to Milton Keynes (about 15 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Mary, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Buckinghamshire UTC, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Events in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Aylesbury, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
We cover events in every part of HP21, HP19, HP20 and HP18 and the streets around it. That could mean an event at a home on Market Street, Market Square and High Street or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Aylesbury is on the A41 and A413, so it is easy for us to reach with the van. We also bring the van to events in California (1 mile south), Queens Park (1 mile east), New Zealand (1 mile north), Walton (1 mile south-east) and Elmhurst (1 mile north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as High Wycombe (13 miles south), Chesham (11 miles south-east), Buckingham (14 miles north-west), Amersham (13 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (6 miles south) and Haddenham (6 miles south-west). Aylesbury is among the bigger towns we cover in Buckinghamshire, with plenty of venues for events.
Other landmarks nearby include Roald Dahl Children's Gallery (less than half a mile east) and Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital (under half a mile north). Within reach you will find Coombe Hill.

Questions from Aylesbury
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you trade at school fairs around Aylesbury?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Space for a queue away from paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
