About our Christmas party fish and chips in Cassington
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We’re often asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and depot Christmas treats, serving haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
In winter near Cassington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Cassington in December: what to know
Cassington is about 6 miles north-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Cassington is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Cassington is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 6 miles away.
A Christmas fair at Church of St Peter is just the kind of event a chip van suits. Train travellers will want to know that Hanborough station, about 2.5 miles north-west, is the nearest station.
For Christmas parties in OX29, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time. Whether your Christmas party is on Church Lane, The Green and Pound Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Swinford (1 mile south-west), Eynsham (2 miles south-west), Wytham (2 miles south-east), Farmoor (2 miles south) and Filchampstead (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (6 miles south-east), Didcot (13 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles south), Witney (6 miles west) and Carterton (11 miles west).

Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. An afternoon Christmas party in Cassington can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Common questions in Cassington
Which station is closest to Cassington?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Cassington close to London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Collect allergies in advance
- Flag any coeliac guests
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Festive lights by the van look great.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Cassington
No restaurant booking, no taxis, because the van comes to you.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are frequently booked for:
- End-of-year customer events
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- Club and society Christmas socials
- Office Christmas parties
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Peter's Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Before booking anyone
- Allergen information for each item
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- When final numbers are due
- The deposit and payment dates
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
