For event organisers in Blewbury

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Blewbury?

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Late-December sunset in Blewbury is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day

Is Blewbury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Blewbury from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long does set-up take?
