Why choose a fish and chip van in Farmoor?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Common questions in Farmoor
What’s the nearest station to Farmoor?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Farmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Farmoor.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
