Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Ascott-under-Wychwood
Is Ascott-under-Wychwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Ascott-under-Wychwood?
Ascott-under-Wychwood has its own station: Ascott-Under-Wychwood station.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
