What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. At midsummer, it is light in Elvendon until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Events in Elvendon and across Oxfordshire
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will confirm what we need.

How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
