Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
Send us the date, the address or OX25 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Collect allergies in advance
When service is finished, we pack up.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
