Fish and chip van for events in Little Chalfont, fried fresh
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. For agricultural and country shows and sports tournaments, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
In Little Chalfont, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

Questions from Little Chalfont
Can you come to a school fair in Little Chalfont?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Little Chalfont from London?
About 23 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.

Event catering near Little Chalfont
Little Chalfont is about 2 miles east of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. Little Chalfont is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to 263 places in Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 23 miles away.
If visitors are coming by train, Chalfont & Latimer station is in Little Chalfont itself. A school like Dr Challoner's High School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Within about 7 miles is the Chilterns National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.
Events anywhere in HP6, HP7 and HP8 start with a parking spot for the van. Whether your event is on Chalfont Station Road, Loudhams Road and Clayton Walk or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Tell us about the pitch
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Plan bins near food stalls
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, events in Little Chalfont stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
