Our fish and chip van hire in OX49

The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We are frequently asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and garden get-togethers, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas.

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up.

First, tell us about your event.
You get an availability check and a clear quote.
Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Around Watlington

Locally, our bookings take us close to Royal Oak pub, St Mary's Church and Icknield Community College. Nearby too are Watlington Primary School (under half a mile north) and Church of St Leonard (less than half a mile north-west). Within reach you will find Aston Rowant NNR and Bald Hill.

Planning a chip van in OX49

There are 3 towns and 8 villages and hamlets in OX49, so whether your event is in Watlington, Aston Rowant and Lewknor or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across OX49, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Watlington: Among the historic houses close to Watlington are Adwell House (3.2 miles north) and Stonor Park (4.8 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. PTAs at schools such as Watlington Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. In Watlington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Confirm allergies by email
Count children separately

A short menu keeps service quick.

A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Events we cater in OX49

People book a chip van because it’s food and a bit of fun at once. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and plentiful.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

Gatherings after a funeral
Milestone birthday parties
Weddings, especially the evening
Company team days

How we price a fish and chip van

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

Whether a minimum applies
Numbers
How easy the site is to reach
The menu and how many choices

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

The date and when you’d like to eat
Where you’d like the van to go
Dietary needs, with numbers
A picture of where the van would go

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Before you choose a spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

OX49 questions

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.

How do you handle allergies?

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

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do you fry it on site?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

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
