Bringing the van to Latimer
Latimer is about 2 miles east of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Latimer or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Latimer is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 23 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Little Chalfont Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. For guests coming by train, Chalfont & Latimer station is about 1 mile away. Latimer is within about 7 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape. Ask your venue about vehicle access.
For events in HP5, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. From Spring Close, The Grove and The Ridings or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the van to you.

How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Who books fish and chip van hire in Latimer?
People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and generous.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Fêtes, fairs and school events
- Birthday celebrations
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Care home visits
After a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.
Questions to ask before booking
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- The cancellation terms
- Whether VAT is included
- How much space the van takes up
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. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- We cover Latimer and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- No kitchen needed
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evenings in Latimer 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.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in

Questions from Latimer
How far is Latimer from London?
About 23 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It can be. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
