A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Larger groups generally 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?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Events in Postcombe and across Oxfordshire
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the space and the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Questions from Postcombe
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Postcombe too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Let your neighbours know
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Put allergy details in writing
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a late-May party in Postcombe, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
