Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in South Newington
Is South Newington close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like South Newington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to South Newington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including South Newington. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Is a fish and chip van right for your shoot?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Planning a shoot in South Newington
South Newington is about 5 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of South Newington to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. South Newington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 18 miles away.
Within reach of South Newington are historic houses such as Broughton Castle (3.1 miles north). Period locations like these generally keep vehicles well away from the house, so agree the base early.
We take the van to shoots all over the OX15 postcode area. Local streets include High Street, Sands Lane and Green Lane; a shoot on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve shoots include Wigginton (1 mile west), Swerford (2 miles south-west), Great Tew (3 miles south), Little Tew (3 miles south-west) and Hook Norton (3 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover Banbury (5 miles north-east), Bicester (12 miles south-east), Witney (15 miles south), Kidlington (13 miles south-east), Bure Park (12 miles south-east) and Chipping Norton (7 miles south-west).
A little further out are Bloxham Village Museum (2 miles north-east) and Horton General Hospital (5 miles north-east). Open spaces near South Newington include Crouch Hill and Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.
- Pubs nearby include The Duck on The Pond pub (under half a mile north-west)
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Lighting for early or late service
- Space in front of the hatch
- A clear route to base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
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.
