Binsey: your questions answered
Could you trade in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Binsey too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. At midsummer, it is light in Binsey until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

- Numbers

- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 typically the easier option.
