Your questions about a fish and chip van in Clanfield
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Stephen: can you come?
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’ll gather.
How far is Clanfield from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Count children separately
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
