Fish and chip van hire in Long Wittenham, cooked to order
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and evening wedding food.
In a hamlet or village like Long Wittenham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Long Wittenham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Long Wittenham?
The closest is Appleford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
Do you come to Long Wittenham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Long Wittenham. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they don’t miss out.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
