About our fish and chip van hire in Bunkers Hill
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and visits to care homes and day centres.
In a small place like Bunkers Hill, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Questions from Bunkers Hill
Which station is closest to Bunkers Hill?
The closest is Tackley station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Cross?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Chips
What affects the price in Bunkers Hill
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
