Party fish and chip van in Oving, fried fresh
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. For naming days and christenings and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Near Oving, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Oving: your questions answered
Is Oving close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Oving?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
