Fresh fish and chips in Madley Park
Why choose a fish and chip van in Madley Park?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Something for guests to gather round

About our fish and chip van hire in Madley Park
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We’re frequently asked to cater summer garden parties and village fêtes and school fairs, with gravy, pie and chips and curry sauce.
There may be a hall or club near Madley Park if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Madley Park
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Madley Park?
Combe station, about 4.1 miles north-east of the centre.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
How we price a fish and chip van
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Plan bins near the queue
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Madley Park, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

About the food

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Madley Park: venues, parking and local tips
Madley Park is about 1 mile east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Madley Park to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Madley Park is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Madley Park to Oxford (about 10 miles away).
Churches such as Church of Holy Trinity rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Madley Brook Community Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.
Wherever your event is in OX28 and OX29, we can fry fresh for your guests. Local streets include Grey Lane, Larch Lane and Drake Lane; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover events in Cogges (1 mile south-west), High Cogges (1 mile south-east), Witney (1 mile west), South Leigh (2 miles south-east) and Ducklington (2 miles south-west).
