About our fish and chip van hire in Brize Norton
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and wakes and celebrations of life, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Brize Norton, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
FAQs for Brize Norton
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Britius?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Brize Norton from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Light matters for evening service: around Brize Norton, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Plan bins near the queue
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
