Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Eynsham parties: what to know
Eynsham is about 5 miles east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Around Eynsham, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground, close to your guests. Eynsham is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Eynsham to Oxford (about 7 miles away).
Historic houses near Eynsham include Blenheim Palace (4.1 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A christening at Church of St Leonard followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
We cover parties in every part of OX29 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Station Road and Back Lane, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. If your venue is just outside Eynsham, we also cover Swinford (1 mile south-east), Cassington (2 miles north-east), Farmoor (2 miles south-east), Sutton (2 miles south-west) and Filchampstead (3 miles south-east).

How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Eynsham until about 9:30pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Eynsham
What’s the nearest station to Eynsham?
Hanborough station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
