Party fish and chip van for your party in Little Frieth
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and reunions and family get-togethers, with mushy peas, pie and chips and curry sauce.
In a small place like Little Frieth, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Parties in Little Frieth: homes, halls and local tips
Little Frieth is about 4 miles north-west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. We cover Little Frieth as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 12 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Little Frieth are Stonor Park (3.1 miles west) and Greenlands (3.3 miles south).

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Questions from Little Frieth
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A spot near your guests
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Little Frieth, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
