Fresh fish and chips in Ramsden
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 typically simpler.

Questions from Ramsden
Which station is closest to Ramsden?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Party venues around Ramsden
Ramsden is about 3 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Tell us where your party in Ramsden will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot. Ramsden is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Ramsden to Oxford (12 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Finstock station, about 1.4 miles north-east. Within reach of Ramsden are historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (3.1 miles south-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Ramsden is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, tell us about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
