Planning an event in Farmoor?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Party fish and chip van in Farmoor, fried fresh
You do not need to hire a hall: the van makes your home the party venue. Whether it’s get-togethers with old friends and anniversary celebrations, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Farmoor, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Farmoor drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Show us where the van would go
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Mention the van to neighbours
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
