Why choose a fish and chip van in Forty Green?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
FAQs for Forty Green
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Forty Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Put allergy details in writing
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- The length of service
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
