Headington Hill: your questions answered
Can the van park in Headington Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Headington Hill?
Oxford station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
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 the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Get in touch with the date.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. December in Headington Hill means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- Events in Headington Hill and across Oxfordshire
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
