What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Burford is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June. 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

FAQs for Burford
How far is Burford from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Burford?
The closest is Shipton station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Burford?
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
