Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Swerford
Is Swerford close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Swerford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can the van come to Swerford?
We do. We serve events in Swerford and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Swerford, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:30pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
A chip van compared with other options
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
