Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Oakley?
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In December, daylight in Oakley ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.

Planners, venues and businesses

Common questions in Oakley
Is Oakley close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Oakley 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.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, with a level spot. We’ll agree the spot with your location manager.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help

- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the waste plan with locations
A short menu keeps the line moving in a lunch break.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
