Shillingford questions
Is Shillingford close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Is Shillingford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. It gets dark in Shillingford by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. The cost per head usually 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.
Why us?
- Events in Shillingford and across Oxfordshire
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Put allergy details in writing
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Flag any coeliac guests
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
What affects the price in Shillingford
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
