Chip van hire across MK46
Across MK46, we serve 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Olney, Lavendon and Emberton to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Olney: For a fundraiser at a school like Olney Middle School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Historic houses near Olney include Turvey Abbey (3.7 miles east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before you book. Around midsummer it stays light in Olney until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A short menu helps everyone
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in MK46
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
