About our party fish and chip van in Booker

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and birthday parties, with mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips.

Around Booker, a garden and a drive is all you need. The van fits right in. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Booker

Which station is closest to Booker?

High Wycombe station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.

Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

Can the van come to Booker?

We do. We serve events in Booker and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What do you need at the house?

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What happens on the day

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Booker, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

A chip van compared with other options

A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why us?

  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Hot food handed straight over
  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • Everything cooked to order at your event
