For event organisers in Weston Otmoor
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wake is.

The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Weston Otmoor
Is Weston Otmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Diets, allergies and planning

- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Mention allergies you know about

Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
