Our fish and chip van hire in HP18

There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. We’re frequently asked to cater birthday celebrations and weddings and evening receptions, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.

You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Cost

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Fish and chip van hire in HP18: local guide

HP18 covers everything from Aylesbury, Haydon Hill and Long Crendon to 23 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Long Crendon: Churches such as Church of St Mary rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Long Crendon School, can book the van as a food stall. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Long Crendon, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

HP18 questions

How does fish and chip van hire work?

The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.

What can guests choose from?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What does the van need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

What does it cost to hire the van?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
