What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:

- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Running an event in North Newington
North Newington is about 2 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Whether your event is in the middle of North Newington or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. North Newington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from North Newington to Oxford (22 miles away).
If visitors are coming by train, Banbury station is about 2.6 miles away. School fairs, for a school like Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.
We serve events across OX15. We can serve an event on streets such as Main Street, Park Lane and School Lane, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Broughton (1 mile south), Neithrop (1 mile east), Ruscote (1 mile east), Wroxton (1 mile north) and Drayton (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Bicester (14 miles south-east), Bure Park (14 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (10 miles south-west), Grimsbury (3 miles east), Woodstock (14 miles south) and Bloxham (3 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Castle Quay Shopping Centre (2.4 miles east) and Broughton Castle (1 mile south). Open spaces near North Newington include Crouch Hill and Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.

- Pubs nearby include The Roebuck Public House (within half a mile south-west)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
What affects the price in North Newington
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
