Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Settle the pitch terms early
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Details of any power or water on site
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. For an evening event in Cassington, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

About the food
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, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- We cover Cassington and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Cassington: your questions answered
How far is Cassington from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Is Cassington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
