Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Put bins near the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

FAQs for Tongwell
Could you trade in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Tongwell?
The closest is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 3 miles away.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you cover Tongwell?
We do. Tongwell is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

What else we do in Tongwell
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
