About our fish and chip van hire in Neithrop
There’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Whether it’s visits to care homes and day centres and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Around Neithrop, bookings are frequently at homes, local halls and clubs. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Neithrop, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What else we do in Neithrop
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Bringing the van to Neithrop
Neithrop is about 1 mile west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Events in Neithrop are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Neithrop is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Neithrop to Oxford (22 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Churches such as St Paul's Church Centre rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does.
Wherever your event is in OX16 and OX15, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Abbey Road, Lunnun Road and Bailey Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to events in Ruscote (1 mile north), Banbury (1 mile east), Drayton (1 mile north-west), North Newington (1 mile west) and Broughton (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Bicester (14 miles south-east), Bure Park (14 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (11 miles south-west), Woodstock (15 miles south), Bloxham (3 miles south) and Charlbury (14 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Castle Quay Shopping Centre (1.2 miles east) and Horton General Hospital (1.2 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Farthinghoe Nature Reserve and Crouch Hill.
- Nearby schools include North Oxfordshire Academy (0.8 miles north) and Drayton School (0.8 miles north)
- Nearby, you’ll find Admiral Holland pub (within half a mile east)
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. 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.
Why book our van in Neithrop

Questions from Neithrop
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's Church Centre?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
