Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Mursley
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Mursley. For festive get-togethers and village fêtes and school fairs, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips.
For a rural spot like Mursley, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Fish and chip van hire around Mursley
Mursley is about 4 miles south-west of Bletchley, in Milton Keynes. From the centre of Mursley to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to all 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Mursley to Milton Keynes (about 6 miles away).
Coming by train? The nearest station is Bletchley station, about 4.5 miles north-east. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Mursley Church of England School, can book the van as a food stall.
This part of Milton Keynes takes in MK17, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. Local streets include Main Street, Station Road and The Beechams; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Swanbourne (1 mile south-west), Little Horwood (2 miles north-west), Dunton (3 miles south), Winslow (3 miles west) and Great Horwood (3 miles north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Milton Keynes (6 miles north), Bletchley (4 miles north-east), Newport Pagnell (10 miles north), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (5 miles north-east), Furzton (4 miles north-east) and Whitehouse (6 miles north).

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Mursley?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Mursley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.

Mursley: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Mursley close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
- 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
