Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Sarsden
Is Sarsden too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Sarsden close to London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Sarsden?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Sarsden and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
