Fresh fish and chips in Caulcott
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, it’s dark in Caulcott by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

- Your date and serving time

A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Classic food your guests already know
- A clear quote before booking
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
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 don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
FAQs for Caulcott
Is Caulcott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Caulcott?
Heyford station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
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 tell you what we can offer.
