Common questions in Kiddington
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Kiddington close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Kiddington
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater community events and fairs and festive get-togethers.
For a rural spot like Kiddington, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
