About our fish and chip van hire in Netherton
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are curry sauce, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and wakes and celebrations of life.
In a hamlet or village like Netherton, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from Netherton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Netherton from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van come to Netherton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Netherton and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Netherton?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cover Netherton and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- A short menu helps everyone
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Bringing the van to Netherton
Netherton is about 5 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. For events in Netherton, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields.

Within reach of Netherton are historic houses such as Appleton Manor (2 miles north-east) and Longworth House (2.2 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before you book. For a fundraiser at a school like John Blandy Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school.

The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Light matters for evening service: around Netherton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Make sure the van can get in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
