Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Whether it is christmas family parties and end-of-year club parties, we can cook gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
In Grimsbury, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Grimsbury in December: what to know
Grimsbury is about 1 mile east of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Christmas parties in Grimsbury are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire. Our bookings stretch from Grimsbury to Oxford (22 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Saint Leonard's Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van.
Wherever your Christmas party is in OX16, OX17 and OX15, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Alma Road, Manor Road and Verney Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Banbury (1 mile west), Neithrop (2 miles west), Ruscote (2 miles west) and Bodicote (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Bicester (13 miles south-east), Bure Park (13 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (13 miles south-west), Woodstock (15 miles south), Bloxham (4 miles south-west) and Charlbury (15 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Horton General Hospital (1 mile south-west) and Castle Quay Shopping Centre (0.5 miles west). Open spaces near Grimsbury include Crouch Hill and Farthinghoe Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Ash-Shifa School (less than half a mile south-west) and Banbury Academy (1.4 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The Pepper Pot pub (under half a mile north-east)

How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Grimsbury. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why Grimsbury hosts choose us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Questions to ask before booking
- What the price includes, item by item
- The deposit and payment dates
- How much space the van takes up
- Whether travel is included
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Grimsbury can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
