How our fish and chip van for events works in Bledington
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for charity fundraisers and community events and club open days.
Near Bledington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Bledington
What’s the nearest station to Bledington?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Bledington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bledington?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over

How it works

- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve

- The venue or postcode
