A fish and chip van or other catering?

Common questions in Buscot
Do you come out to small places like Buscot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Buscot close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send round an allergy question
- Have a back-up for special diets
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
