Christmas party fish and chips for your Christmas party in Ducklington
The van parks outside and serves hot food. Popular choices include curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-year club parties and festive family gatherings.
Near Ducklington, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Ducklington questions
Do you come out to small places like Ducklington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Ducklington from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Ducklington; choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
