About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Littlemore
Which station is closest to Littlemore?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary and St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Evenings in Littlemore stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
How to get a price

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cover Littlemore and the whole of Oxfordshire
- No surprises in your quote

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
