Lewknor in December: what to know
Lewknor is about 5 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Around Lewknor, we park wherever there’s level, firm ground. Lewknor is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Lewknor to Oxford (about 12 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Lewknor Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Lewknor; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Wherever your Christmas party is in OX49, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include High Street, Weston Road and Lewknor Close; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in South Weston (1 mile north-west), Aston Rowant (1 mile north-east), Postcombe (1 mile north), Shirburn (1 mile south-west) and Kingston Blount (2 miles north-east).

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Lewknor
How far is Lewknor from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Keep the queue dry
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
A chip van compared with other options
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
Why book with us
- Classic food your guests already know
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In December, it is dark in Lewknor by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or OX49 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
