Questions from Shirburn
Is Shirburn close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Shirburn 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.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us break and shift times
- Consider a pre-order list
We can serve each shift in turn.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Shirburn are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or OX49 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
