Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Buscot
Do you come out to small places like Buscot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Buscot close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, events in Buscot stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.

- We cook fresh and serve through the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 usually simpler.
