Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bow Brickhill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. December events in Bow Brickhill lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Bow Brickhill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
