What else we do in Poundon
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. December events in Poundon lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Make sure the van can get in

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Cod, haddock or both
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Poundon questions
Do you come out to small places like Poundon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Poundon close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Do you cover Poundon?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Poundon is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Settle the pitch terms early
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
