Our fish and chip van hire in HP5
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. Typical bookings include weddings, especially the evening and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
What you’ll pay
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Bookings across Buckinghamshire, including HP5
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Near you in Chesham
Around Chesham, we take the van to homes and venues near Emmanuel, The Jolly Sportsman pub and Elmtree Infant and Nursery School and the streets around them. For guests coming by rail, the closest station is Amersham station, about 2.6 miles south. A little further out are Amersham Hospital (3.4 miles south) and Hawridge Court (2.2 miles north). The countryside around Chesham includes Sands Bank.
Fish and chip van hire in HP5: local guide
There are 3 towns and 12 villages and hamlets in HP5, so whether your event is in Chesham, Pond Park and Chesham Bois or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan. Parts of HP5 are within a few miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.
Chesham: For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Emmanuel, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. Nearby historic houses include Cholesbury Manor House (3.5 miles north-west) and Chenies Manor House (4.3 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. In Chesham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
