Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Weston Otmoor
Do you come out to small places like Weston Otmoor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Weston Otmoor close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer events in Weston Otmoor have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, 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 set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
