Church Enstone: your questions answered
How far is Church Enstone from London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Can you come to a school fair in Church Enstone?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
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 photo if you’re not sure.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before you book.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Share pitch details
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Set a time for helpers’ food
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Summer fêtes in Church Enstone have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
