Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, it’s light in Duns Tew until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Duns Tew
How far is Duns Tew from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Duns Tew?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
