How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bunkers Hill
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. Typical bookings include school and PTA Christmas fairs and end-of-year customer events, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In winter near Bunkers Hill, we need firm ground and light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Planning a Christmas party in Bunkers Hill
Bunkers Hill is about 7 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. In and around Bunkers Hill, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 8 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of Holy Cross can book the van as a hot-food stall. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Marlborough School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Wherever your Christmas party is in OX5, we can fry fresh for your guests. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Field View Lane and Bunkers Hill or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
FAQs for Bunkers Hill
Do you come out to small places like Bunkers Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Bunkers Hill close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Bunkers Hill; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- 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.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
