About our Christmas party fish and chips in Fritwell
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons suit a chip van too, with hot food for visitors in the cold. Whether it is festive gatherings after Christmas and club and society Christmas socials, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and pie and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Fritwell, December lanes are dark, 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.

FAQs for Fritwell
Which station is closest to Fritwell?
Heyford station, about 4 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Fritwell too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
When should we eat?
Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, it’s a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. 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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s one dish. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Park the van close to the door.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
