Fish and chip van hire across MK2
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Typical bookings include christmas parties and staff lunches and team days, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Cost
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Planning a chip van in MK2
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in MK2, so the setting can be anything from Bletchley, Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and Fenny Stratford to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford: A green space like Waterhall Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Water Eaton Church Centre, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Late September evenings in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to 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.
