Fish and chip van hire for Ravenstone events

Planners, venues and businesses

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Ravenstone

Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for big birthdays and weddings, especially the evening.

In a rural place like Ravenstone, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Before you choose a spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

  • Curry sauce
  • Sausage and chips

  • Chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Haddock and chips

Choosing a fish and chip van

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

  • Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Plan bins near the queue
  • Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences

A short menu keeps service quick.

Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Ravenstone questions

Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?

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 Ravenstone close to London?

Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What is fish and chip van hire?

We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Can the van come to Ravenstone?

We do. We serve events in Ravenstone and across Milton Keynes. Send us your date to check availability.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Ravenstone, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
