Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Bringing the van to North Newington
North Newington is about 2 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. People in North Newington book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. North Newington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from North Newington to Oxford (about 22 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
We cover events in every part of the OX15 postcode area. That could mean an event at a home on Main Street, Park Lane and School Lane, wherever the van can park. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Broughton (1 mile south), Neithrop (1 mile east), Ruscote (1 mile east), Wroxton (1 mile north) and Drayton (1 mile north-east).

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.

Questions from North Newington
How far is North Newington from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in North Newington?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Do you come to North Newington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including North Newington. To check your date, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
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. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
