What else we do in Great Tew
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Great Tew questions

About 65 miles from central London.
Is Great Tew too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Great Tew in late December is 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.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
