About our party fish and chip van in Fritwell
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. On the menu are mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for garden parties and summer get-togethers and anniversary celebrations.
A country party near Fritwell is perfect for fish and chips: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

- What the van needs: space, access, power
- How allergens are handled
- What the price includes, item by item
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Something for guests to gather round
- Classic food your guests already know
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- The date and time of year
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Hosting a chip van party in Fritwell
Fritwell is about 5 miles north-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Give us the address of your party in Fritwell, and we’ll plan access and set-up. Fritwell is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 14 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that Heyford station, about 4 miles south-west, is the nearest station.
We take the van to parties all over OX27 and the streets around it. Whether your party is on East Street, Fewcott Road and Hodgson Close or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Fritwell, we also cover Fewcott (1 mile south-east), Souldern (1 mile north), Ardley (1 mile south-east), Somerton (2 miles west) and Upper Heyford (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Oxford (14 miles south), Banbury (9 miles north-west), Bicester (5 miles south-east), Kidlington (10 miles south), Headington Quarry (14 miles south) and Bure Park (5 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Ardley Castle (1.4 miles south-east) and Bicester Community Hospital (5.4 miles south-east).
- Nearby, you will find George and Dragon pub (under half a mile north-east)
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Fritwell questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Olave?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Fritwell?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, normally. Let us know numbers and ages.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.

- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
