Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in West Challow
Do you come out to small places like West Challow?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you come to West Challow?
We do. We serve events in West Challow and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
For event organisers in West Challow
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
