Common questions in Rowstock
Which station is closest to Rowstock?
Didcot Parkway station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Rowstock?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
A chip van compared with other options
For a thank-you that lands, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
