Party fish and chip van for your party in New Hinksey
There is no need for a venue: the van makes your home the party venue. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for naming days and christenings and engagement parties.
In a place like New Hinksey, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we’ll bring everything else. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Why choose a fish and chip van in New Hinksey?

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Parties in New Hinksey: homes, halls and local tips
New Hinksey is about 1 mile south-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. In and around New Hinksey, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. New Hinksey is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover.
A green space like South Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Historic houses near New Hinksey include Holywell Manor, Oxford (1.4 miles north) and Garsington Manor (4.4 miles east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first.
For parties in OX1 and OX4, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Whether your party is on Manor Road, Edith Road and Weirs Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include South Hinksey (1 mile south-west), Redbridge (1 mile south), Grandpont (1 mile north-west), Donnington (1 mile east) and Hinksey Hill (1 mile south-west).

Oxford station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Plan where the queue stands.
A few lights around the van look great.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a late-May party in New Hinksey, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
