Woodstock questions
Is Woodstock close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Woodstock?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 2 miles away.

When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Party fish and chip van in Woodstock, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For anniversary celebrations and big birthdays, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In a place like Woodstock, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how the van reaches the house, and we will bring everything else. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Parties in Woodstock: homes, halls and local tips
Woodstock is about 7 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We take a fish and chip van for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Woodstock. Woodstock is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Woodstock to Oxford (8 miles away).
Within reach of Woodstock are historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (0.8 miles south-west). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. If the day starts at Church of St Mary Magdalene, the van can be ready at the house when everyone arrives.
This part of Oxfordshire takes in OX20, so your party can be anywhere in it. From Market Street, High Street and Briar Thicket or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Being close to the A44, Woodstock is easy for us to reach for your party. Neighbouring places where we serve parties include Bladon (1 mile south), Bunkers Hill (2 miles north-east), Shipton-on-Cherwell (2 miles east), Thrupp (2 miles east) and Begbroke (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Oxford (8 miles south-east), Banbury (15 miles north), Bicester (9 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles south), Witney (7 miles south-west) and Carterton (12 miles south-west).
A little further out are Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum (0.5 miles west).
- Nearby schools include Marlborough School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Local pubs include The Punchbowl Inn (under half a mile west)
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Show us where the van would go
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Woodstock, a June party has light until about 9:30pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
Ask for a quote
Still finalising the details? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
