Burdrop is about 6 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Give us the address of your event in Burdrop, and we’ll plan access and set-up. We serve 443 places in Oxfordshire. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 22 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Broughton Castle (3.8 miles east) and Upton House (4.9 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. After a service at Church of Holy Trinity, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.
Wherever your event is in OX15, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Hawk's Lane and Acre Ditch; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

How our fish and chip van hire works in Burdrop
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. We are often asked to cater community events and fairs and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with pie and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Burdrop, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Burdrop?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Burdrop
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Burdrop too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cover Burdrop?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Burdrop and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Burdrop?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
