How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your Christmas party. It gets dark in Cholsey by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Cholsey in December: what to know
Cholsey is about 5 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Bookings in Cholsey come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Cholsey is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 11 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mary draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Cholsey Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Cholsey; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in OX10, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Station Road, Church Road and Lapwing Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Winterbrook (1 mile north-east), North Stoke (1 mile east), Moulsford (1 mile south), South Stoke (2 miles south) and Mongewell (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (13 miles north), Didcot (5 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (9 miles north-west), Thame (14 miles north-east), Wantage (12 miles west) and Henley-on-Thames (11 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Wallingford Castle (2.4 miles north-east). Open spaces near Cholsey include Cholsey Marsh and Wittenham Clumps.
- Schools near Cholsey include Cranford House School (1.4 miles south) and Wallingford School (2.5 miles north)
- Nearby, you will find Morning Star pub (under half a mile south-east)
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Book as early as possible for December
- Flag any coeliac guests
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

FAQs for Cholsey
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Cholsey?
Cholsey station, in Cholsey itself.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Plan lighting, as it’s dark early.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Cholsey?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
