How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Autumn and winter parties in North Hinksey get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- The length of service
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ensure the van can park legally
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Common questions in North Hinksey
Is North Hinksey close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Peter and St Paul?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North Hinksey.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
