Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Mention the van to neighbours
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Tadmarton 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Questions from Tadmarton
Is Tadmarton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Tadmarton?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
