Fish and chip van hire for your event in Little London
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. Typical bookings include festive get-togethers and community events and fairs, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Little London, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Little London questions
Is Little London close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Fish and chip van hire around Little London
Little London is about 6 miles north-west of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Little London or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Little London is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Little London to Oxford (8 miles away).
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. For a fundraiser at a school like Oakley Church of England Combined School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.
Wherever your event is in HP18, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home on Brill Road, Bicester Road and The Nap, as long as there is somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Little London, we also cover Oakley (1 mile west), Brill (1 mile north-east), Piddington (3 miles north), Ludgershall (3 miles north) and Blackthorn (5 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Aylesbury (11 miles east), Buckingham (14 miles north), Elmhurst (11 miles east), Southcourt (11 miles east), Princes Risborough (12 miles south-east) and Haydon Hill (10 miles east).
A little further out are Thame Community Hospital (5.9 miles south-east) and Waterperry Gardens Rural Museum (3.9 miles south). The countryside around Little London includes Bernwood Meadows.
- Nearby, you will find The Royal Oak pub (under half a mile west)
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Count children separately
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- A short menu helps everyone
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t 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.

Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Gravy
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips

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. Around midsummer it stays light in Little London until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
How we price a fish and chip van
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
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.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
