Fish and chip van for events in Wytham, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it is fish and chip supper nights and charity fundraisers and community events, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce and more.
Near Wytham, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Wytham are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 9:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or OX2 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.

How do you charge at fêtes?

Do you do festivals?

Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Plan bins near food stalls

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
