The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why book our van in Streatley

  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • No kitchen needed
  • We cover Streatley and the whole of Oxfordshire

See our prices page or the cost guide.

Step by step

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Streatley drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a price.
  3. On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

  • Show us where the van would go

We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.

15 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Streatley

Is Streatley close to London?

Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.

We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.

How far ahead should we book a party?

Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you cover Streatley?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Streatley. For a quote, use our quote form.

Do you take everything away?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
