Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Finmere is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Finmere: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Finmere too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Finmere parties: what to know
Finmere is about 4 miles west of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. For parties in Finmere, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Finmere is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for Milton Keynes, about 13 miles away.
Within reach of Finmere are historic houses such as Stowe House (3.7 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.
Parties anywhere in MK18 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Your party could be at a house on Chinalls Close, Stable Close and Fulwell Road, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Tingewick (1 mile east), Preston Bissett (2 miles south-east), Gawcott (3 miles east), Hillesden (4 miles south-east) and Twyford (4 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Buckingham (4 miles east), Haydon Hill (15 miles south-east), Winslow (9 miles east), Steeple Claydon (5 miles south-east), Long Crendon (15 miles south) and Whitchurch (13 miles south-east).
A little further out are The Menagerie (3.6 miles north-east) and Buckingham Community Hospital (3.9 miles east). Open spaces near Finmere include Buckingham Sand Pit.
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 party.
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.
What affects the price in Finmere
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your party in Finmere, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
