A chip van near Hook Norton
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Hook Norton; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or OX15 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Hook Norton: your questions answered
Is Hook Norton close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you cover Hook Norton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hook Norton is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What affects the price in Hook Norton
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
