A chip van near Bow Brickhill
Fish and chip van hire in Bow Brickhill, fried fresh
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Bow Brickhill, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Bow Brickhill questions
What’s the nearest station to Bow Brickhill?
Bow Brickhill station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Is Bow Brickhill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Bow Brickhill?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Bringing the van to Bow Brickhill
Bow Brickhill is about 3 miles east of Bletchley, in Milton Keynes. Anywhere in MK17, we can fry fresh for your guests. We serve 73 places across Milton Keynes.
A green space like Waterhall Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. For a fundraiser at a school like Bow Brickhill CofE VA Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

- Add an allergy question to your invitations
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evenings in Bow Brickhill stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 normally simpler.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
