Hosting a chip van party in East End
East End is about 4 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of East End to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. East End is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 10 miles away.
A christening at St Mary's Church followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. Within reach of East End are historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (2.7 miles east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in East End
Is East End close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including East End.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on my drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t 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.
Can the van come to East End?
Yes, we do. We serve events in East End and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
