What the van needs

- Room for the crew to queue
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Permission for the van at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Fringford: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Fringford?
The closest is Bicester North station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Is Fringford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Fringford?
We do. Fringford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Long summer days in Fringford, with light until about 9:30pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
