What else we do in Godstow
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Organising a club, school or community event in Godstow? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Share pitch details
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A few benches near the van help.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Godstow
- A menu almost everyone likes
