- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How our fish and chip van hire works in Upper Winchendon
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include community events and fairs and staff lunches and team days, with cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Somewhere like Upper Winchendon, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Upper Winchendon? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Common questions in Upper Winchendon
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Winchendon?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including Upper Winchendon
Take a look at our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups usually 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 we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Evenings in Upper Winchendon stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
