Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Loxford questions
Can the van park in Loxford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Loxford?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Loxford?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Light in Loxford lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
