A fish and chip van across MK10: what to know
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in MK10, so the setting can be anything from Middleton, Broughton and Kingston to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Milton Keynes: If you had South Loughton Valley park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. Within reach of Milton Keynes are historic houses such as Linford Manor (2.5 miles north) and Bletchley Park (2.9 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
