How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Jericho
Fish and chips is food everyone enjoys, which makes it ideal for a big, mixed group. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for club and society Christmas socials and christmas markets and fairs.
At a festive party in Jericho, the van on the drive goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Christmas parties in Jericho: local tips
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. In and around Jericho, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We serve 443 places in Oxfordshire.
A winter fair at a school like St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. A Christmas fair at St Barnabas Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
Christmas parties anywhere in OX1 and OX2 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Whether your Christmas party is on Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you. Being close to the A4144, Jericho is easy for us to reach. For Christmas parties just outside Jericho, we cover Walton Manor (1 mile north), St John Street area (1 mile south-east), Park Town (1 mile north-east), Norham Manor (1 mile north-east) and Osney (1 mile south-west).

Questions from Jericho
What’s the nearest station to Jericho?
Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do you come to Jericho?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Jericho and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
About the food

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
