Bampton questions
Is Bampton close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Bampton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Bampton events: pitches and permissions
Bampton is about 3 miles south-east of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Bampton and the surrounding area. Bampton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Bampton to Oxford (13 miles away).
A summer fête at Church of St Mary is the classic setting for a fish and chip van.
Here we cover the OX18 postcode area, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. From High Street, Station Road and The Pieces or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve events in Weald (1 mile south-west), Aston (2 miles east), Black Bourton (2 miles west), Clanfield (2 miles south-west) and Brize Norton (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (13 miles east), Didcot (15 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles east), Witney (5 miles north-east), Carterton (3 miles north-west) and Wantage (11 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include Longworth Hospital (5.1 miles south) and Bampton Castle (0.5 miles south-west).
- Local pubs include The Morris Clows Public House (within half a mile south)
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event. At midsummer, events in Bampton stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Where the van can park in Bampton
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
