For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A chip van compared with other options
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why book with us
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Denchworth
- Classic food your visitors already know
- No surprises in your quote
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter fairs in Denchworth are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
