About fish and chip van hire in OX29

Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for summer garden parties and work Christmas parties.

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed.

  1. First, tell us about your event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Fish and chip van hire in OX29: local guide

Across OX29, we serve 3 towns and 26 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Witney, Cogges and Eynsham to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.

Eynsham: Nearby historic houses include Blenheim Palace (4.1 miles north). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you are booking one. For a christening or celebration after a service at a church such as Church of St Leonard, the van can serve at a hall or home nearby. By late September, sunset in Eynsham is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

Diets, allergies and planning

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:

  • Fewer choices mean faster service
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Plan bins near the queue

Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.

Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
