Community events around Milton
Milton is about 2 miles north-west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. People in Milton book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Milton is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Milton to Oxford (9 miles away).
For visitors coming by rail, Appleford station, about 2.5 miles east, is the nearest station. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Blaise, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.

We take the van to events all over the OX14 and OX11 postcode area. Local streets include High Street, School Lane and Willow Lane; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Tell us about the pitch
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter fairs in Milton are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
