Haddenham: your questions answered
How far is Haddenham from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Haddenham?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.

Haddenham events: pitches and permissions
Haddenham is about 6 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. For an event in Haddenham, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Haddenham. Haddenham is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Haddenham to Oxford (13 miles away).
Church fêtes, at churches such as Parish Church of St Mary, are a natural home for a chip van. A school like Haddenham Community Infant School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Within about 8 miles is the Chilterns National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
For events in HP17, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many visitors. Local streets include High Street, Station Road and Printers Piece; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover events in Kingsey (1 mile south), Cuddington (2 miles north), Gibraltar (2 miles north-east), Chearsley (2 miles north-west) and Towersey (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Aylesbury (6 miles north-east), High Wycombe (12 miles south-east), Chesham (14 miles east), Marlow (15 miles south-east), Amersham (15 miles south-east) and Elmhurst (6 miles north-east).
A little further out are Dinton Castle (2.3 miles north-east) and Thame Community Hospital (2.6 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Snakemoor.
- Pubs nearby include The Green Dragon Public House (within half a mile south)
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- What’s available on the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Give us an idea of numbers
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Winter fairs in Haddenham are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
