Fish and chip van hire in Faringdon, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Whether it is evening wedding food and milestone birthday parties, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
For a place the size of Faringdon, your own drive is frequently the best spot: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A chip van compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Faringdon questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Faringdon from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to Faringdon?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Faringdon and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Faringdon stay light until about 9:30pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Faringdon? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
