The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. December events in Standlake lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 9:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Tell us about your event in Standlake, and we will check the date and send a price.

Running an event in Standlake
Standlake is about 5 miles south-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Events in Standlake are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 9 miles away.
A summer fête at St Giles' Church is the classic setting for a fish and chip van.
For events in OX29, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. From High Street, Manor Crescent and Horns Way or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to events in Brighthampton (1 mile west), Hardwick (2 miles north-west), Stanton Harcourt (2 miles north-east), South Leigh (3 miles north) and Ducklington (4 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (9 miles east), Didcot (11 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles south-east), Witney (5 miles north-west), Carterton (8 miles west) and Wantage (9 miles south).

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Share pitch details
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Have other stalls for special diets
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Common questions in Standlake
How far is Standlake from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to a school fair in Standlake?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.
Can the van come to Standlake?
We do. Standlake is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
