Berinsfield questions
Which station is closest to Berinsfield?
The closest is Culham station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Is Berinsfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Berinsfield.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In December, it is dark in Berinsfield by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
