Our fish and chip van hire in HP27

Queuing at the hatch is half the experience. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Popular choices include haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for community events and fairs and staff lunches and team days.

It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss.

First, tell us about your event.
You get an availability check and a clear quote.
We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
We cook to order on the day for your guests.
Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Prices in HP27

A fish and chip van across HP27: what to know

Across HP27, we serve 3 towns and 19 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Princes Risborough, Longwick and Monks Risborough or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. Parts of HP27 are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Princes Risborough: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Princes Risborough School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Princes Risborough station, about 0.7 miles south-west. In Princes Risborough, 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. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

How long we serve
The date and time of year
Distance and any road charges
How many people are eating

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

For a quote, it helps to have:

Dietary needs, with numbers
Anything awkward about the way in
Where the event is
Where the van would park

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Occasions we serve in HP27

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

A chip van compared with other options

Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

Planning for dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Plan bins near the queue
Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests

Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.

A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Common questions in HP27

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Can you serve children?

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

How soon do we need to book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Cod or haddock?

Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
