Perfect for your event in Winslow
It needs no kitchen, so it’s at home in car parks, yards and fields where plated meals are hard.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- Weddings and evening receptions
- Work Christmas parties
- Garden get-togethers
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
Within reach of Winslow are historic houses such as Claydon House (3.5 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early.

For event organisers in Winslow
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Winslow
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A quote that spells everything out
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Winslow questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Laurence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Winslow from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you cover Winslow?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Winslow. To check your date, use our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Around midsummer it stays light in Winslow until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, 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 tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
