How we price a fish and chip van for your party

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • Service time
  • The date and time of year
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Whether a minimum applies

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Where the van would park
  • Your date and serving time
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • A picture of the parking spot

Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Steventon?

A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why book with us

  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • A quote that spells everything out
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Events in Steventon and across Oxfordshire

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.

Steventon parties: what to know

Steventon is about 3 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Give us the address of your party in Steventon, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Steventon is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Steventon to Oxford (10 miles away).

For guests coming by train, Didcot Parkway station, about 3.6 miles east, is the nearest station.

Parties anywhere in OX13 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. That could mean a party at a home on High Street, St Michael's Way and Hanney Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Steventon we cover include Milton Heights (1 mile south-east), Milton Hill (1 mile south-east), Drayton (2 miles north), Sutton Wick (2 miles north-east) and Marcham (3 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Oxford (10 miles north-east), Didcot (3 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (4 miles north-east), Witney (13 miles north-west), Carterton (15 miles north-west) and Wantage (5 miles south-west).

How it works

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. A summer party in Steventon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Have a level parking spot ready

Planning for dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • A picture of the parking spot helps
  • Flag any coeliac guests
  • Mention the van to neighbours

Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Steventon

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?

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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Do you come out to small places like Steventon?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

How much space do you need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Events we cater in Steventon

You do not need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.

  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
