Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree who removes waste
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree the terms in writing
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.

Common questions in Broughton
Do you come out to small places like Broughton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Broughton?
Banbury station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
