About fish and chip van hire in OX2
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for birthday celebrations and fish and chip days at care homes.
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Cost
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Planning a chip van in OX2
There are 3 towns and 10 villages and hamlets in OX2, so the setting can be anything from Oxford, St John Street area and St. Ebbes to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Walton Manor: Within reach of Walton Manor are historic houses such as Holywell Manor, Oxford (1 mile south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before you book. If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Oxford station, roughly 0.7 miles south of the centre. Late September evenings in Walton Manor lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who don’t eat pork.
