How our fish and chip van for events works in South Oxhey
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. We’re frequently asked to cater school summer fairs and horse and dog shows, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In South Oxhey, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Questions from South Oxhey
What about parking in South Oxhey?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to South Oxhey?
Carpenders Park station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

South Oxhey events: pitches and permissions
South Oxhey is about 2 miles north-west of Hatch End, in Greater London. From the centre of South Oxhey to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. South Oxhey is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is London, about 15 miles away.
If visitors are coming by train, Carpenders Park station is about 0.6 miles away. Events in parks such as Oxhey Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
Here we cover the WD19, HA6 and HA5 postcode area. We can serve an event on streets such as Ilkley Road, Benton Road and Oakdale Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Carpenders Park (1 mile north-east), Hatch End (2 miles south-east) and Headstone (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (15 miles south-east), City of Westminster (13 miles south-east), Marylebone (13 miles south-east), Kensington (12 miles south-east), St Pancras (13 miles south-east) and Shoreditch (15 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Hilfield Castle (3.3 miles north-east) and Heath Robinson Museum (1.9 miles south). Open spaces near South Oxhey include Tumbling Bay and Harrow Weald Common.
- Schools near South Oxhey include Heathrow Aviation Engineering UTC (1.3 miles south-west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in South Oxhey
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- What’s available on the pitch
South Oxhey is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
