About our fish and chip van hire in Weston Otmoor
Rain doesn’t stop a fish and chip van, because the fryers are inside. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We are frequently asked to cater community events and fairs and visits to care homes and day centres, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Weston Otmoor, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who don’t eat pork. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why Weston Otmoor hosts choose us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Weston Otmoor until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
