Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
When service is finished, we pack up.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in Hinton Waldrist are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

The menu, dish by dish

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

FAQs for Hinton Waldrist
Do you come out to small places like Hinton Waldrist?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hinton Waldrist close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
