Common questions in Great Coxwell
Do you come out to small places like Great Coxwell?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Great Coxwell from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. The van solves that. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
- A clear quote before booking

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Light in Great Coxwell lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your shoot.

Should I sort the food myself?
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. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
