Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the spot with the venue
Send people out in groups.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Christmas party fish and chips in Launton, fried fresh
Everything is fried inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. Whether it’s new Year parties and festive family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, gravy and pie and chips and more.
In a small place like Launton, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning a Christmas party in Launton
Launton is about 2 miles east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Bookings in Launton come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Launton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Launton to Oxford (about 11 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that Bicester North station, about 1.4 miles west, is the nearest station. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Launton Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van.
Anywhere in OX26 and OX25, we can bring the van to you. Whether your Christmas party is on Station Road, Skinner Road and Ancil Avenue or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Nearby, we also serve Christmas parties in Ambrosden (2 miles south), Lower Arncott (3 miles south), Chesterton (3 miles west), Upper Arncott (3 miles south) and Wendlebury (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Oxford (11 miles south-west), Banbury (15 miles north-west), Thame (12 miles south-east), Kidlington (9 miles south-west), Headington Quarry (10 miles south) and St John Street area (12 miles south-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Bicester Village (1.7 miles west) and Bicester Community Hospital (1.7 miles west). Within reach you’ll find Graven Hill and Upper Ray Meadows.
- Nearby schools include Cooper School (1.3 miles north-west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Bull Inn (less than half a mile south-east)
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Launton in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Food your guests will love

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why book our van in Launton
- We cover Launton and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A clear quote before you book
- Classic food your guests already know
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For event organisers in Launton
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Launton: your questions answered
How far is Launton from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Launton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Launton?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
