A chip van near Berinsfield
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a late-May party in Berinsfield, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Historic houses near Berinsfield include Clifton Hampden Manor (1.6 miles west) and Brightwell Manor (3.5 miles south). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Berinsfield questions
Is Berinsfield close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Saint Mary and Saint Berin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Do you cover Berinsfield?
We do. We serve events in Berinsfield and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Comparing caterers
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- What the van needs: space, access, power
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas

Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
