Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Radley
What’s the nearest station to Radley?
Radley station, in Radley itself.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water from us?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Radley?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How far ahead should we book?

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Sunset in Radley drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
