DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer fêtes in Bletchingdon have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Questions from Bletchingdon
Is Bletchingdon close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Bletchingdon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How big a pitch do you need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bletchingdon is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

About the food

What affects the price in Bletchingdon
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating

- The date and time of year
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
