About the food

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Common questions in Shenley

Milton Keynes Central station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Shenley from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.

Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Running an event in Shenley
Shenley is about 1 mile north of Westcroft, in Milton Keynes. For an event in Shenley, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Shenley is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes we cover.
Events in parks such as South Loughton Valley park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St. Mary's Church, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.
Anywhere in MK5, MK8 and MK4, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can serve an event on streets such as Vache Lane, Oakhill Road and Wisewood Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Shenley, we also cover Whitehouse (1 mile north-west) and Two Mile Ash (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Bletchley (3 miles south-east), Newport Pagnell (6 miles north-east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (4 miles south-east), Middleton (4 miles north-east), Fenny Stratford (4 miles east) and Olney (11 miles north).
A little further out are Bletchley Community Hospital (2.6 miles south-east) and Badminton Museum (1.6 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Blue Lagoon Park and Furzton Lake.

Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer events in Shenley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Information about power and water
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about the pitch
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
We set up before visitors arrive.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
