Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or OX29 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

Planning a Christmas party in Leafield
Leafield is about 4 miles north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Leafield to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire. We serve events right across the region, from Leafield to Oxford (14 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Ascott-Under-Wychwood station is about 2.5 miles away. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Leafield Church of England Primary School, hot fish and chips goes down well.
Here we cover the OX29 postcode area, and we can serve your Christmas party anywhere in it. We can serve a Christmas party on streets such as Hewitts Close, Witney Lane and Chapel Close or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. If your venue is just outside Leafield, we also cover Ascott d'Oyley (2 miles north-west), Ascott-under-Wychwood (2 miles north-west), Crawley (2 miles south-east), Ascott Earl (2 miles north-west) and Chilson (3 miles north).

What happens on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
