Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Leafield?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Why Leafield hosts choose us
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Clear of the shot and sound
- Level, firm ground at base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Leafield
Leafield: your questions answered
Is Leafield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Leafield?
Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, about 2.5 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What will the production need?

Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you cover Leafield?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Leafield is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, daylight in Leafield ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
- Tell us what you are 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, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
