Why choose a fish and chip van in Yarnton?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A quote that spells everything out

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Yarnton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Other occasions in Yarnton
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
