Milton Heights questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Blaise?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Milton Heights from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?

- All the chip-shop extras
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Milton Heights

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
