Fish and chip van for events in Crowell Hill, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For agricultural and country shows and church fêtes, we can cook sausage and chips, chips and mushy peas and more.
At a field event near Crowell Hill, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Information about power and water
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Crowell Hill
What’s the nearest station to Crowell Hill?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Crowell Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Crowell Hill and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
A chip van compared with other options
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
