Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Quick service from the hatch
- Events in Salford and across Oxfordshire
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.

Parties in Salford: homes, halls and local tips
Salford is about 12 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. In and around Salford, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Salford is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 20 miles away.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends. Historic houses near Salford include Chastleton House (2.6 miles west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.
