- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Drayton Beauchamp
How far is Drayton Beauchamp from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

What else we do in Drayton Beauchamp
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. 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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Tell us about the pitch
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
