Questions from Tingewick
Is Tingewick too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Tingewick?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
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.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Tingewick
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. On the menu are curry sauce, chips and cod and chips, and we are often booked for sports club events and race days and horse and dog shows.
At a fête or show near Tingewick, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Tingewick
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Information about power and water
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Tingewick events: pitches and permissions
Tingewick is about 3 miles west of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Tingewick as standard, so your event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Tingewick is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Milton Keynes, about 12 miles away.
A school like Royal Latin School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day.
Here we cover the MK18 postcode area, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. Local streets include Main Street, Gorrell Lane and Gorrell Close; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Tingewick, we also cover Finmere (1 mile west), Gawcott (1 mile south-east), Preston Bissett (2 miles south), Hillesden (3 miles south-east) and Twyford (4 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (15 miles south-east), Buckingham (3 miles east), Elmhurst (15 miles south-east), Haydon Hill (14 miles south-east), Quarrendon Estate (15 miles south-east) and Fairford Leys (15 miles south-east).
A little further out are Buckingham Movie Museum (2.5 miles east) and Buckingham Community Hospital (2.6 miles east). The countryside around Tingewick includes Buckingham Sand Pit.
- Local pubs include The Crown pub (within half a mile north-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Tingewick stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. 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.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
