About our party fish and chip van in Butler's Cross

Country parties near Butler's Cross suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Send us a photo of the drive
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Where the van can park in Butler's Cross
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Butler's Cross questions
What’s the nearest station to Butler's Cross?
Little Kimble station, about 1.2 miles west 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’ll follow the site rules.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
