Party fish and chip van in Ambrosden

About our party fish and chip van in Ambrosden

For children, there is sausage and chips, so one van feeds the whole party. We are frequently asked to cater christenings and naming days and get-togethers with old friends, with pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

For a party in Ambrosden, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

15 questions to ask before booking

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Step by step

Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. In Ambrosden, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. We start with a few details about your party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

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 can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Ambrosden questions

How far is Ambrosden from London?

About 51 miles from central London.

What’s the nearest station to Ambrosden?

Bicester Village station, about 1.9 miles north-west of the centre.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Ambrosden?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Can the van come to our street party?

Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.

Will the van fit on our drive?

That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • A picture of the parking spot helps
  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Mention the van to neighbours
  • Arrange an alternative if needed

Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

A few lights around the van look great.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
