About our Christmas party fish and chips in Ewelme
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas customer days.
In winter near Ewelme, we need firm ground and light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send allergies to us in writing
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Ewelme; light the path to the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

A closer look at the menu

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
