Glympton questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Glympton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Glympton?
We do. We serve events in Glympton and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Glympton
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. On the menu are curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and summer garden parties.
Somewhere as small as Glympton, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

A fish and chip van in Glympton: local details
Glympton is about 9 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Whether your event is in the middle of Glympton or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 12 miles away.
Churches such as Church of St Mary rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. For anyone arriving by rail, Tackley station, about 3.6 miles east, is the nearest station.
Here we cover the OX20 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include New Road and The Row; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Wootton (1 mile south-east), Woodstock (3 miles south-east), Tackley (3 miles east), Bunkers Hill (4 miles south-east) and Shipton-on-Cherwell (4 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (12 miles south-east), Banbury (12 miles north), Bicester (10 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (15 miles south), Witney (9 miles south-west) and Carterton (13 miles south-west).
A little further out are Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum (3.1 miles south). The countryside around Glympton includes Blenheim Farm.
- Local pubs include Killingworth Castle pub (1 mile south-east)
Why choose a fish and chip van in Glympton?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Glympton
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A short menu helps everyone
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
How we price a fish and chip van
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Glympton, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
