A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Fish and chip van hire in Bayworth, fried fresh
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Typical bookings include fish and chip days at care homes and staff thank-you lunches, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
For a rural spot like Bayworth, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Bayworth questions
What’s the nearest station to Bayworth?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
