Fish and chip van hire for your event in Micklefield
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for garden parties and summer get-togethers and community events and fairs.
A place like Micklefield frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Bringing the van to Micklefield
Micklefield is about 1 mile east of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire.

Coming by train? High Wycombe station, about 1.3 miles west, is the nearest station.

For events in HP13, HP10 and HP11, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time.

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Micklefield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day

Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How we price a fish and chip van
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Micklefield questions
Which station is closest to Micklefield?
High Wycombe station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can you feed a lot of people?
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 do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Something for guests to gather round
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen needed

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
