What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At midsummer, it’s light in Owlsmoor until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Owlsmoor questions
Is Owlsmoor close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you come?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let your neighbours know
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Put the menu up by the van.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Gravy

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and 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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
