Edgehill: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Edgehill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cover Edgehill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Edgehill and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so send us the date and we will answer right away.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A wake in Edgehill in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Occasions we serve in Edgehill
There’s no kitchen work for anyone.
