Party fish and chip van for your party in Kiddington
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. Whether it’s naming days and christenings and children’s parties, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Kiddington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Kiddington: your questions answered
Is Kiddington close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Tell us how many children are coming
- A photo of the parking spot helps
After service, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Occasions we serve in Kiddington
With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. And it is fun.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Naming days and christenings
- Big birthdays
- Children’s parties
- Retirement celebrations
Within reach of Kiddington are historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (4.6 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, it’s light in Kiddington until about 9:30pm, 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.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
