Fish and chip van hire in Ascott-under-Wychwood, fried fresh
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater festive get-togethers and community events and fairs.
Somewhere as small as Ascott-under-Wychwood, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

- How far we travel
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

Ascott-under-Wychwood: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Ascott-under-Wychwood close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you feed a lot of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it 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. In Ascott-under-Wychwood, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
