Community events around Kingswood
Kingswood is about 7 miles east of Bicester, in Buckinghamshire. People in Kingswood book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Kingswood is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 13 miles away.
We take the van to events all over the HP18 postcode area. Whether your event is on Grendon Road and Kingswood Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, events in Kingswood stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Common questions in Kingswood
Is Kingswood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a school fair in Kingswood?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
