Hosting a chip van party in Highmoor
Highmoor is about 4 miles north-west of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Wherever your party is in the RG9 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire. Our bookings stretch from Highmoor to Reading (7 miles away).
A christening at Church of St Paul followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Henley-On-Thames station, about 4.5 miles east. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Highmoor, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Highmoor is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare

Questions from Highmoor
Is Highmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Highmoor close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where the van can park in Highmoor
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
