How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bladon
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. Typical bookings include christmas customer days and school and PTA Christmas fairs, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In winter near Bladon, we need firm ground and light. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Bladon
What’s the nearest station to Bladon?
Hanborough station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Is Bladon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In December, it’s dark in Bladon by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, 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.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 Christmas party.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Bladon?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
