Fish and chip van hire for Hunt's Green events
How our fish and chip van hire works in Hunt's Green
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. For birthday celebrations and company team days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Hunt's Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Before booking anyone
- The cancellation terms
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How much space the van takes up
- Whether there is a minimum
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For food that suits almost everyone, a fish and chip van is a safe and popular choice. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Hunt's Green
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Hunt's Green

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Service time
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Light matters for evening service: around Hunt's Green, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
