Farmoor in December: what to know
Farmoor is about 5 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Farmoor to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Farmoor is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Oxford station, roughly 3.4 miles east of the centre. If a church like St Mary's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of OX2 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Mayfield Road, Oxford Road and Meadow Close, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Neighbouring places where we serve Christmas parties include Filchampstead (1 mile south), Swinford (1 mile north-west), Dean Court (2 miles south-east), Eynsham (2 miles north-west) and Wytham (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also take the van to Oxford (5 miles east), Didcot (11 miles south-east), Bicester (13 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-east), Witney (6 miles west) and Carterton (10 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include Oxford University Press Museum (3.6 miles east) and Radcliffe Infirmary (3.7 miles east). Within reach you will find Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Cumnor Hill.

What else we do in Farmoor
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Send round an allergy question
- Keep the queue dry
Plan cover for the queue.
Festive lights by the van look great.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. December in Farmoor means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Farmoor
Which station is closest to Farmoor?
Oxford station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Farmoor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Will the weather be a problem?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
