Christmas party fish and chips for Frilford Heath events
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Frilford Heath
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, serving hot food on a chilly evening. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for PTA Christmas events and staff Christmas parties.
In winter near Frilford Heath, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In December, it’s dark in Frilford Heath by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan cover for the queue
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Book as early as possible for December
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
