How it works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Oakfield, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat

What else we do in Oakfield
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Oakfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- Service time
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Oakfield
Can you serve after a service at St John's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Oakfield?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Oakfield itself.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
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 will advise.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know
- Arrange an alternative if needed
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
