How our fish and chip van hire works in Bure Park
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We’re frequently asked to cater festive get-togethers and weddings, especially the evening, with mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In and around Bure Park, homes and village halls are common choices. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

Bure Park: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Bure Park?
Bicester North station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Bure Park close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Bure Park?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
