Running an event in Cadmore End
Cadmore End is about 5 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. People in Cadmore End book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We cover all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Cadmore End to Reading (about 13 miles away).
Running a fête for a church like Church of St Mary Le Moor? A chip van draws people in. A school like Cadmore End CofE School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Events in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 3 miles of Cadmore End, often have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.

Working with your venue
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Cadmore End, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in

Planning help
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Expected numbers
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your event in Cadmore End, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A few benches near the van help.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally simpler.
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.
