Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Great Tew
Do you come out to small places like Great Tew?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Does a chip van work for big events?
Often, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
