Fish and chip van for events in Tongwell, fried fresh
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. Whether it’s sports days and village fêtes and summer fairs, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
Rural events near Tongwell can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Bookings across Milton Keynes, including Tongwell
- Something for visitors to gather round
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen needed
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Tongwell: your questions answered
How far is Tongwell from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Tongwell?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Send us the date and the spot.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Milton Keynes included. See all areas.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Tongwell, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van
