What else we do in Grandpont
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Check the street’s parking rules
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. A summer party in Grandpont stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
FAQs for Grandpont
Can you serve after a service at St Matthew's?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Grandpont from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Grandpont?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Grandpont and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
