Christmas party fish and chips in Garsington, cooked to order
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year customer events and end-of-year club parties, with pie and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Near Garsington, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December in Garsington means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Questions from Garsington
Is Garsington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Garsington?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
When should we book for December?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Can the van come to Garsington?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Garsington is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book our van in Garsington
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Perfect for your Christmas party in Garsington
Rain or shine, the fryers keep going.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:
- Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons
- Depot Christmas treats
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- End-of-year customer events
A winter fair at a school like Garsington Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
What your quote should include
- When final numbers are due
- When payment is due
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- Whether there is a minimum
