Common questions in Stanton Harcourt
How far is Stanton Harcourt from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Is Stanton Harcourt too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van come to Stanton Harcourt?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Stanton Harcourt and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Stanton Harcourt 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.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
