How our party fish and chip van works in Hempton
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, once the council has agreed the road closure. For anniversary celebrations and big birthdays, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and curry sauce and more.
In a small place like Hempton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park

Party venues around Hempton
Hempton is about 6 miles south of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. For parties in Hempton, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. We serve 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Hempton to Oxford (about 17 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Saint John the Evangelist, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Kings Sutton station, roughly 4 miles north-east of the centre.
Wherever your party is in OX15, we can fry fresh for your guests. Streets in the area include Hempton Road, The Lane and St John's Way, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to parties in Barford St Michael (1 mile north-west), Barford St John (1 mile north-west), Deddington (1 mile east), Nether Worton (2 miles south-west) and Dane Hill (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Banbury (6 miles north), Bicester (10 miles south-east), Witney (15 miles south-west), Kidlington (12 miles south), Bure Park (10 miles south-east) and Chipping Norton (9 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Bloxham Village Museum (2.5 miles north) and Deddington Castle (1.6 miles east). Within reach you will find Crouch Hill.
- Nearby, you’ll find George Inn (0.9 miles north-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. A summer party in Hempton stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.

A few lights around the van look great.
Hempton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Saint John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, typically. Tell us how many children to expect.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
