Fish and chip van for events for your event in Coleshill
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Popular choices include mushy peas, chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for community open days and club open days.
Near Coleshill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Fairs, fêtes and events in Coleshill
Coleshill is about 2 miles south-west of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. Bookings in Coleshill come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Coleshill is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 20 miles away.
If visitors are coming by train, the closest railway station is Amersham station, roughly 2 miles north-east of the centre. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Coleshill Church of England Infant School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Events in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 6 miles of Coleshill, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
This part of Buckinghamshire takes in HP7, so your event can be anywhere in it. That could mean an event at a home on Village Road, Meadowcot Lane and Barracks Hill or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Winchmore Hill (1 mile west), Woodrow (1 mile north-west), Penn Street (2 miles north-west), Mop End (2 miles north-west) and Amersham on the Hill (2 miles north-east).

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer fêtes in Coleshill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
