Fish and chip van for events in Quainton, cooked to order
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and chips, and we’re often booked for church fêtes and feeding event crew.
Rural events near Quainton can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Quainton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Quainton stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
- 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
