About our fish and chip van hire in Bucks Green
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. For garden get-togethers and christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In a small place like Bucks Green, the van often 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, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Questions from Bucks Green
Can you serve after a service at St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bucks Green?
Christs Hospital station, about 4.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Do you come to Bucks Green?
Yes, we do. Bucks Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bucks Green?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
