Fresh fish and chips in Neithrop
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Questions from Neithrop
Can the van park in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Neithrop?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list and we will go through it.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we’ll adjust where possible.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Send final numbers the day before
- Send allergies to us in writing
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. At midsummer, Neithrop has light until about 9:30pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We clear up and get out of the way.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
Ask for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
