Fresh fish and chips in Little Barrington

About the food

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Common questions in Little Barrington

Do you come out to small places like Little Barrington?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Is there a non-fish option?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Is there something for children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Do you do work Christmas parties?

Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Parking and the way in
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Distance and any road charges

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Expected numbers
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Your date and serving time

The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your Christmas party, and we will check the date and send a price.

Planners, venues and businesses

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Check the van can park on site
  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Plan lighting near the hatch

Park the van close to the door.

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Why book with us

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Events in Little Barrington and across Oxfordshire
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm

Step by step

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Plan your Christmas party in Little Barrington around the dark: the light goes at about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How to get a price

Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
