Which station is closest to Barford St John?

Kings Sutton station, about 3.9 miles north-east of the centre.

Is Barford St John close to London?

About 64 miles from central London.

What about staff who don’t eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

How does payment work for businesses?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Where can the van park?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

  • Service time
  • Numbers
  • Parking and the way in
  • The date and time of year

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Details that help

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Where the event is
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • A photo of the space and the way in

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Ask facilities about access
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

  • We cover Barford St John and the whole of Oxfordshire
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

For event organisers in Barford St John

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

How the day works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Barford St John are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:30pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Getting ready for the day

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Name one person we can call on the day

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
