What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Fish and chip van hire in Foscot, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Foscot. For care home visits and weddings, especially the evening, we can cook pie and chips, curry sauce and gravy and more.
In a rural place like Foscot, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Foscot

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Put allergy details in writing
- A short menu helps everyone
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.

School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Bledington Primary School, can book the van as a food stall. Nearby historic houses include Chastleton House (4.4 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Late September evenings in Foscot lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
