Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Middle Claydon
Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Middle Claydon. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Middle Claydon, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.

Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
