Fish and chip van hire for your event in Deddington
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. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and visits to care homes and day centres.
In a hamlet or village like Deddington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
