Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In December, it is dark in Bletchingdon by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
