Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Piddington
How far is Piddington from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
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. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you cover Piddington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Piddington and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evenings in Piddington stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
