Event catering near Spelsbury
Spelsbury is about 7 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX7 area, we can bring the van to you. Spelsbury is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 15 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as Chadlington Church of England Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall. Running a fête for a church like Church of All Saints? A chip van draws people in.
We take the van to events all over the OX7 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Quickset Close and Chadlington Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Well-known places in the area include Chipping Norton Museum (3.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Blenheim Farm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. 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 nobody has to miss the event.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December events in Spelsbury lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 9:00pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Spelsbury: your questions answered
Is Spelsbury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Spelsbury close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where the van can park in Spelsbury
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
