About our fish and chip van hire in Willen

In a rural place like Willen, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evenings in Willen stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Willen questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you cover Willen?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Willen and across Milton Keynes. Send us your date to check availability.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
