Party fish and chip van for The City events
How our party fish and chip van works in The City
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. We’re frequently asked to cater garden get-togethers and family celebrations after a christening, with gravy, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like The City, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book our van in The City
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Events in The City and across Buckinghamshire
- Rain does not stop the fryers
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Perfect for your party in The City
It works at home: a drive or firm lawn is enough.
In The City and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Popular bookings include:
- Retirement celebrations
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Milestone birthdays
- Naming days and christenings
After a christening at a church like Church of St Paul, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there is a minimum
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- A clear list of what’s included

The City: your questions answered
Which station is closest to The City?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in The City?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
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 advise.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. A summer party in The City stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Count children separately
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.

Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Saunderton station, about 1.8 miles north-east. Local halls and clubs near The City are an option if there is nowhere to park at home.

For event organisers in The City
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
