Party fish and chip van for your party in Poundon
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a chip van too, with the right permissions in place. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and garden get-togethers, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Country parties near Poundon suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Show us where the van would go
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the street’s parking rules
We park on the agreed spot and set up, and serve as the party carries on.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a late-May party in Poundon, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Poundon questions
How far is Poundon from London?
About 51 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Poundon?
The closest is Bicester North station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van come to Poundon?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Poundon and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
