About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Keep the queue dry
- Collect allergies in advance
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- We cover Kennington and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Classic food your guests already know
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
