Planning an event in Olney?
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Olney
Do you trade at school fairs around Olney?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Olney from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Olney
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. For church fêtes and festivals, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In Olney, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What else we do in Olney
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Tell us about the pitch
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For an evening event in Olney, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat
How to get a price

What affects the price in Olney
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat in Olney. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
