Planning an event in Wroxton?
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Winter fairs in Wroxton are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
