The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Spelsbury, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Spelsbury
How far is Spelsbury from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
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 a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Churches such as Church of All Saints rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Chadlington Church of England Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
