Party fish and chip van for Oakley events
About our party fish and chip van in Oakley
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. On the menu are haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for anniversaries and engagement parties and street parties and neighbourhood events.
For a party in Oakley, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll bring everything else. Timings are planned around your party, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for guests to gather round
- We cover Oakley and the whole of Oxfordshire
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
It is worth telling the neighbours.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Common questions in Oakley
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Oakley?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park at our house?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cover Oakley?
We do. We serve events in Oakley and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Planners, venues and businesses
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 saves passing messages back and forth.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Oakley, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
