Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A summer party in Sutton Courtenay stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Appleford station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
