Common questions in Little Ickford
How far is Little Ickford from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Little Ickford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van come to Little Ickford?
We do. We serve events in Little Ickford and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Do we need to provide anything?

Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
