Fish and chip van hire in Bloxham, cooked to order
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for staff lunches and team days and visits to care homes and day centres.
A place like Bloxham frequently has a hall, a club or a pub car park nearby; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Bringing the van to Bloxham
Bloxham is about 3 miles south of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. For events in Bloxham, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We cover 443 places in Oxfordshire. We serve events right across the region, from Bloxham to Oxford (19 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Bloxham Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Mary, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
For events in OX15, we just need to know where the van can park. We can serve an event on streets such as High Street, Merrivale's Lane and Unicorn Street or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Milton (1 mile east), Broughton (2 miles north), North Newington (3 miles north) and Bodicote (3 miles north-east).

Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. By late September, sunset in Bloxham is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Put allergy details in writing
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
