How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Lower Brailes
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop service. For office Christmas parties and lights switch-on events, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, pie and chips and gravy.
Near Lower Brailes, country lanes are dark in winter, 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
FAQs for Lower Brailes
Is Lower Brailes too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening normally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the van can park on site
- Collect allergies in advance
- Send allergies to us in writing

Send people out in groups.
Festive lights by the van look great.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your Christmas party, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot fish and chips is. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cover Lower Brailes and the whole of Oxfordshire
- A van that becomes part of the event
