Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Burford? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Share pitch details
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- We cover Burford and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Quick service from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Burford questions
Is Burford close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Burford?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. December events in Burford lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
