Fish and chip van for events for Bloxham events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Bloxham
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports days and church fêtes.
Events near Bloxham are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

FAQs for Bloxham
Can you come to a school fair in Bloxham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Bloxham close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bloxham.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Bloxham, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:30pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
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 normally simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
