Christmas party fish and chips in Chawley, fried fresh
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you, if the date suits. Typical bookings include end-of-year club parties and christmas markets and fairs, with mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
In winter near Chawley, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What happens on the day

Planning help
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Christmas parties in Chawley: local tips
Chawley is about 4 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. For a Christmas party in Chawley, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Chawley. We cover 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Cumnor Church of England School (Voluntary Controlled), hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Michael can book the van as a hot-food stall.
Christmas parties anywhere in OX2 start with a parking spot for the van. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Cumnor Hill, Chawley Park and Chawley Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Cumnor (1 mile south-west), Dean Court (1 mile north-east), Botley (1 mile north-east), Filchampstead (1 mile north-west) and Henwood (1 mile south).

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Keep the queue dry
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
