Fresh fish and chips in Postcombe
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Fish and chip van for events in Postcombe, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so nothing sits waiting. For community open days and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and chips and more.
At a fête or show near Postcombe, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Space for a queue away from paths
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is Postcombe close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Do you come to Postcombe?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
