About our fish and chip van hire in Terrick
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We will suggest what suits your event. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater visits to care homes and day centres and christmas parties.
In a small place like Terrick, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Terrick: venues, parking and local tips
Terrick is about 4 miles south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. People in Terrick book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Terrick is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 19 miles away.
For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. For a fundraiser at a school like John Colet School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Terrick is within about 2 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.

Questions from Terrick
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to Terrick?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Terrick. To check your date, use our quote form.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
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.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
