Shirrell Heath: your questions answered
Is Shirrell Heath too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Shirrell Heath?
Botley station, about 2.9 miles west of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Shirrell Heath?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities about access
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Consider a pre-order list
Send a message round when the van opens.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
