Fish and chip van for events in Fritwell, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. We are frequently asked to cater country shows and summer fairs, with chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At a fête or show near Fritwell, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- Firm, level ground for the pitch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

How far is Fritwell from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Fritwell?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.

When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. In Fritwell, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:30pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
