DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your Christmas party in Radley, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- We cover Radley and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A clear quote before you book
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Radley, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
