Party fish and chip van for Buckingham events
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Buckingham, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

How our party fish and chip van works in Buckingham
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Whether it is anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy and more.
In Buckingham, home and the local hall are popular party venues. The van works at both, given somewhere to park. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Buckingham questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Buckingham from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you cover Buckingham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Buckingham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally 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 solves that by cooking on site.
