Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat in Deddington. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What else we do in Deddington
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree the terms in writing
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer fêtes in Deddington 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.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
