Fish and chip van hire in Kingham, cooked to order
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Whether it is community events and fairs and weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a rural spot like Kingham, the setting does a lot of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. Late September evenings in Kingham 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.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready

Kingham: venues, parking and local tips
Kingham is about 10 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. For events in Kingham, we plan around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Kingham is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 20 miles away.
Within reach of Kingham are historic houses such as Chastleton House (3.3 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before you book. PTAs at schools such as Kingham Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
For events in OX7, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time.

A chip van compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?

Questions from Kingham
Do you come out to small places like Kingham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Kingham?
Kingham station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where the van can park in Kingham
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
