FAQs for North Leigh
What’s the nearest station to North Leigh?
The closest is Combe station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van come to North Leigh?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and North Leigh is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
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.
A chip van compared with other options
For a party that feels special but relaxed, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A summer party in North Leigh stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
