FAQs for Wroxton
How far is Wroxton from London?
About 68 miles from central London.
Is Wroxton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In December, daylight in Wroxton ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:30pm.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
