Book the van in West Hagbourne
Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. Light in West Hagbourne lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in West Hagbourne
Do you come out to small places like West Hagbourne?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to West Hagbourne?
The closest is Didcot Parkway station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you cover West Hagbourne?
We do. We serve events in West Hagbourne and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
