About fish and chip van hire in OX25

We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for staff lunches and team days and visits to care homes and day centres.

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.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
  4. We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
  5. We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.

Chip van hire across OX25

OX25 covers everything from Upper Heyford, Ambrosden and Launton to 19 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Upper Heyford: Coming by train? Heyford station, about 1.8 miles west, is the nearest station. After a service at Heyford Park Chapel, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Access and parking
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The day of the week
  • Whether a minimum applies

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

  • Your date and serving time
  • A photo of the parking spot

A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in OX25 book the van for occasions like:

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Have bins and napkins near the hatch
  • Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.

Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Before you choose a spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in OX25

What do you bring?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

How long does set-up take?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

What can guests choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
