How our fish and chip van hire works in Winterbrook
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. It is why a chip van suits so many occasions. We’re frequently asked to cater birthday celebrations and Fêtes, fairs and school events, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Somewhere as small as Winterbrook, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
Send us the date, the address or OX10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Questions from Winterbrook
Can you serve after a service at St John the Baptist's Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Winterbrook from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to Winterbrook?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Winterbrook is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We arrive with the van, fry everything to order, and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. By late September, sunset in Winterbrook is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
