Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Oakley
How far is Oakley from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Oakley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, usually. Tell us how many children to expect.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. 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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Occasions we serve in Oakley
You do not need a venue: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Big birthdays
- Summer garden parties
- Family reunions
- Anniversary celebrations
Nearby historic houses include Boarstall Tower (1.5 miles north-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. A summer party in Oakley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
