How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Godstow drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day

Common questions in Godstow
What’s the nearest station to Godstow?
Oxford Parkway station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Godstow close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
