At country workplaces around Garsington, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For an end-of-day event in Garsington, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A photo of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or OX44 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
What else we do in Garsington
Garsington questions
What’s the nearest station to Garsington?
Radley station, about 3.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Garsington 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.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Find out what documents the site needs
We can serve each shift in turn.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
