Questions from Bladon
What’s the nearest station to Bladon?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Bladon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
A chip van compared with other options
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

What else we do in Bladon
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. On a winter shoot near Bladon, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We serve hot from the hatch when lunch is called.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear route to base
- Level, firm ground at base
- A queue area clear of trucks
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
