What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Bampton: your questions answered
Is Bampton close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you come to Bampton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Bampton and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
