Fish and chip van hire in Church Enstone, cooked to order
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and Fêtes, fairs and school events, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In a hamlet or village like Church Enstone, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Light matters for evening service: in Church Enstone, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Church Enstone: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Kenelm?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Church Enstone too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Church Enstone?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Church Enstone and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Which fish do you use?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm what we can offer.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Planning a chip van in Church Enstone
Church Enstone is about 9 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Bookings in Church Enstone come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 15 miles away.
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Enstone Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Kenelm, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
Anywhere in OX7, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Chapel Lane, Banbury Road and Bicester Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover events in Enstone (1 mile south), Little Tew (2 miles north), Kiddington (3 miles south-east), Great Tew (3 miles north) and Swerford (4 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Oxford (15 miles south-east), Banbury (11 miles north-east), Bicester (13 miles east), Witney (9 miles south), Carterton (12 miles south-west) and Kidlington (10 miles south-east).

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
