The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Tattenhoe, 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. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand

Fish and chip van hire for your event in Tattenhoe
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for garden parties and summer get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres.
Around Tattenhoe, bookings are frequently at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan bins near the queue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Common questions in Tattenhoe
What’s the nearest station to Tattenhoe?
Bletchley station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Giles's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
