What happens on the day
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. December events in Cuddesdon lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.

Questions from Cuddesdon
Can you come to a school fair in Cuddesdon?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Cuddesdon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
