A fish and chip van in Fifield: local details
Fifield is about 7 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. People in Fifield book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Fifield is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 20 miles away.
After a service at Church of St John the Baptist, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.
Events anywhere in OX7 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. From High Street, Church Street and The Green or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Fifield is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Perfect for your event in Fifield
There is no kitchen needed, so it’s at home in car parks, yards and fields where plated meals are hard.

Fifield questions
Which station is closest to Fifield?
Shipton station, about 2.6 miles east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which fish do you use?
Both are on our menu; we will agree the choice when we quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
