- Any minimum charge

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

Other occasions in Milton Hill
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

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. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Milton Hill from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.

Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us separate numbers for children
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Milton Hill until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
