The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Churchill, a June party has light until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan where the queue will stand

About the food

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Churchill parties: what to know
Churchill is about 10 miles north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We serve parties at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Churchill and the surrounding area. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 19 miles away.

Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Kingham station, roughly 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.
We serve parties across OX7 and the streets around it. Your party could be at a house on Hackers Lane, William Smith Close and Junction Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Churchill, we also cover Sarsden (1 mile south-east), Salford (3 miles north), Chipping Norton (3 miles north-east), Over Norton (3 miles north-east) and Great Rollright (5 miles north-east).

FAQs for Churchill
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Churchill?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Mention the van to neighbours
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
