Party fish and chip van for your party in Princes Risborough
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We are frequently asked to cater leaving parties and summer garden parties, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a place like Princes Risborough, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will do the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Princes Risborough is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A clear quote before booking
Take a look at our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

- The number of meals
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
