Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Confirm allergies by email
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bampton?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Events in Bampton and across Oxfordshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. For a late-May party in Bampton, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:30pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
