Fish and chip van for events in Bledlow, cooked to order
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We are often asked to cater sports tournaments and country shows, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Rural events near Bledlow can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Bledlow events: pitches and permissions
Bledlow is about 5 miles south-east of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Bledlow or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly.

Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of the Holy Trinity, are a natural home for a chip van. School fairs, for a school like Princes Risborough School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.

Bledlow questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Bledlow?
Princes Risborough station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

- Rain does not stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Should I sort the food myself?
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.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
