Fish and chip van for events in Pusey, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for village fêtes and church fêtes.
Rural events near Pusey can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Other occasions in Pusey
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, events in Pusey stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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 arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Pusey questions
Is Pusey close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Pusey?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or SN7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
