Common questions in Ambrosden
Is Ambrosden close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Ambrosden?
Bicester Village station, about 1.9 miles north-west of the centre.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
