Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Middle Aston
- A quote that spells everything out
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Take a look at our pricing and what a fish and chip van costs.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. December events in Middle Aston lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know the serving time

Middle Aston questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Middle Aston?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Middle Aston too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
