Chip van hire across OX13

From Caldecott, Kingston Bagpuize and Marcham to 15 villages and hamlets, bookings across OX13 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Kingston Bagpuize: Among the historic houses close to Kingston Bagpuize are Longworth House (1.4 miles north-west) and Appleton Manor (3.3 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Churches such as Church of St John the Baptist rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. Late September evenings in Kingston Bagpuize lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

Should I sort the food myself?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planning the van’s spot

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

What affects the price in OX13

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Access and parking
  • Distance and any road charges
  • How long we serve

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

Details that help

The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • The address or venue name

Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
  • Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving

Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

Let everyone know when the food is ready.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork.

What your quote should include

  • How much space the van takes up
  • Whether VAT is included
  • Whether travel is included
  • How allergens are handled
