Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Plan cover for the queue.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Oxford station, about 1.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Binsey too small for a chip van?

Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Binsey?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
