About our party fish and chip van in Waddesdon
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It is food every generation enjoys. We are frequently asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and christenings and naming days, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Waddesdon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Waddesdon
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
