Our fish and chip van hire in HP11

A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around HP11. Typical bookings include company team days and care home visits, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time.

Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
We come back with availability and a clear 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.

Fish and chip van hire in HP11: local guide

HP11 covers everything from High Wycombe, Totteridge and Booker to 1 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.

Wycombe Marsh: Historic houses near Wycombe Marsh include Hughenden Manor (2.8 miles north-west) and West Wycombe Park House (3.9 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. For a fundraiser at a school like Marsh School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. In Wycombe Marsh, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Can’t 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 event.

How we price a fish and chip van

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

The menu and how many choices
Numbers
Whether a minimum applies
Distance and any road charges

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The date and when you’d like to eat
Expected numbers
Where the event is

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.

About the food

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

HP11: your questions answered

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

What can guests choose from?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How long does set-up take?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

What happens when we hire the van?

We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
