Burcot is about 4 miles north-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Parties in Burcot are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Burcot is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Burcot to Oxford (7 miles away).

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Burcot drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Burcot?
Hot food beats a buffet that’s been out for hours.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Naming days and christenings
- Children’s parties
- Anniversary celebrations
- Big birthdays
Nearby historic houses include Clifton Hampden Manor (1.2 miles west) and Brightwell Manor (3.4 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Burcot: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Saint Mary and Saint Berin: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you come to Burcot?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Burcot is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
