Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Radnage
What’s the nearest station to Radnage?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Radnage?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors usually gather round the hatch once service starts. December events in Radnage lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Information about power and water
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Running an event in Radnage

Running a fête for a church like Church of St Mary? A chip van draws people in. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Radnage Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Events in and around the Chilterns National Landscape, within about 2 miles of Radnage, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
For events in HP14, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many visitors. Local streets include Bottom Road, Bower's Lane and Bennett End Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Other places close to Radnage we cover include Bennett End (1 mile west), Bledlow Ridge (1 mile north-east), The City (1 mile south), Rout's Green (1 mile north) and Waterend (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (10 miles north), High Wycombe (6 miles south-east), Chesham (11 miles east), Marlow (8 miles south-east), Amersham (11 miles east) and Beaconsfield (10 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Wycombe Hospital (5.5 miles south-east) and West Wycombe Rural (2.2 miles south-east). Open spaces near Radnage include Yoesden and Bald Hill.
- Pubs nearby include The Three Horseshoes Inn (within half a mile west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
