A chip van near Middleton Stoney
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Middleton Stoney
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and we are often booked for weddings, especially the evening and visits to care homes and day centres.
In a small place like Middleton Stoney, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Middleton Stoney, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Middleton Stoney
Do you come out to small places like Middleton Stoney?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Middleton Stoney?
Heyford station, about 3.2 miles west of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Service time
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go

- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Count children separately
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
