Iffley questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Iffley close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you come to Iffley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Iffley is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. 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.

How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Iffley drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Tell us how many children are coming
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Plan cover in case of showers.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
