FAQs for Burdrop
How far is Burdrop from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Burdrop too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you cover Burdrop?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Burdrop and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What else we do in Burdrop
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 generally the easier option.
