Questions from Chesterton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Chesterton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van come to Chesterton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Chesterton is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in Chesterton
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before booking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Autumn and winter parties in Chesterton get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
