About our Christmas party fish and chips in Highmoor
The van parks outside and serves hot food. For christmas lunches for shift teams and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy and more.
Near Highmoor, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

- Depot Christmas treats

If a church like Church of St Paul is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. There’s 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- No kitchen needed

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Keep the queue dry
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Christmas catering near Highmoor
Highmoor is about 4 miles north-west of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Highmoor is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Highmoor is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 7 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, the nearest station is Henley-On-Thames station, about 4.5 miles east. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Stoke Row Church of England School, suit a chip van.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
