Godstow questions
Which station is closest to Godstow?
Oxford Parkway station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Godstow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Godstow: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
