Fish and chip van hire for your event in Sibford Ferris
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and weddings and evening receptions, serving gravy, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Sibford Ferris, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Sibford Ferris, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- You share 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Events we cater in Sibford Ferris
It needs no kitchen, so it’s at home in car parks, yards and fields where other catering struggles.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Festive get-togethers
- Community events and fairs

- Company team days
After a service at Church of Holy Trinity, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Whether there is a minimum
- If the price includes VAT
- A clear list of what’s included
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Questions from Sibford Ferris
Do you come out to small places like Sibford Ferris?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Sibford Ferris close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
