Foscot: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Foscot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Foscot.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Service time
Larger groups usually 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.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Midsummer parties in Foscot stay bright until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Hosting a chip van party in Foscot
Foscot is about 9 miles north of Carterton, in Oxfordshire. We take a fish and chip van for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Foscot and nearby villages. Foscot is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 20 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Kingham station, about 0.6 miles north-east. Nearby historic houses include Chastleton House (4.4 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.
For parties in OX7, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Station Road and Old Burford Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Close by, we cover parties in Idbury (2 miles south-west), Fifield (2 miles south), Milton-under-Wychwood (3 miles south), Fulbrook (6 miles south) and Little Barrington (6 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Witney (10 miles south-east), Carterton (9 miles south), Chipping Norton (5 miles north-east), Woodstock (13 miles east), Cogges (10 miles south-east) and Bloxham (14 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Moore Cottage Hospital (5 miles west).
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
