Christmas party fish and chips in Foscot
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Foscot
A chip van is a welcome sight at a Christmas fair, with hot food for visitors in the cold. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for staff Christmas parties and lights switch-on events.
Near Foscot, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. December in Foscot means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Other occasions in Foscot
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
What affects the price in Foscot
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the space and the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

FAQs for Foscot
What’s the nearest station to Foscot?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Foscot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Occasions we serve in Foscot

- Keep the queue dry
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests
Send people out in groups.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
