Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

The process
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Light in Fairford Leys lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
