Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Great Coxwell until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

FAQs for Great Coxwell
Is Great Coxwell close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Great Coxwell too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
