The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. A summer party in Yarnton stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- 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
