DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Fleet Marston
What’s the nearest station to Fleet Marston?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, in Fleet Marston itself.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Send us a picture of the drive
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Finish with the birthday cake.
