About our fish and chip van for events in Nether Winchendon

Running an event in Nether Winchendon
Nether Winchendon is about 4 miles north of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Nether Winchendon is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Nether Winchendon is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 13 miles away.
For visitors coming by rail, Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.5 miles south, is the nearest station. School fairs, for a school like Cuddington and Dinton CofE School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.
We take the van to events all over the HP18 postcode area and the streets around it. We also bring the van to events in Upper Winchendon (1 mile north-east), Ashendon (2 miles north-west), Wormstone (3 miles north-east), Waddesdon (3 miles north) and Westcott (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (5 miles east), High Wycombe (15 miles south-east), Buckingham (13 miles north), Elmhurst (6 miles east), Southcourt (5 miles east) and Princes Risborough (7 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Dinton Castle (2.3 miles east) and St John's Hospital (2.9 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Snakemoor.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Details of any power or water on site
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Nether Winchendon?

Nether Winchendon questions
Is Nether Winchendon close to London?

Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
