About our party fish and chip van in Chilton
Sausage and chips covers the children and anyone who doesn’t want fish, so nobody needs a separate meal. We are often asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and anniversary celebrations, with cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Near Chilton, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

A chip van compared with other options
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. 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.
Why us?
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- We cover Chilton and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
See our prices page or the cost guide.

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
