About our Christmas party fish and chips in Christmas Common
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. For end-of-year customer events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
In winter near Christmas Common, we need firm ground and light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What else we do in Christmas Common
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December in Christmas Common means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time

Planning a Christmas party in Christmas Common
Christmas Common is about 8 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Bookings in Christmas Common 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. We serve all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 13 miles away.
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Icknield Community College, hot fish and chips goes down well. Christmas Common is within about a mile of the Chilterns National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

For planners, venues and organisers
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: 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 a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Christmas Common

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
FAQs for Christmas Common
How far is Christmas Common from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Christmas Common?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
