Christmas party fish and chips in Hinksey Hill, fried fresh
The van parks outside and serves hot food, without anyone leaving site. We’re frequently asked to cater lights switch-on events and staff Christmas parties, with mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Hinksey Hill, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. Plan your Christmas party in Hinksey Hill around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 generally simpler.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
Park the van close to the door.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
