Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Kingston Lisle
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Kingston Lisle?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Kingston Lisle?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Kingston Lisle and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What affects the price in Kingston Lisle
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The date and time of the event
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- A picture of the parking spot helps

- Ensure the van can park legally

Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
