Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, it is dark in Wootton by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Organising a club, school or community event in Wootton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
What affects the price in Wootton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- The date and time of year
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Wootton questions
How far is Wootton from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Wootton?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wootton.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
