How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Plan your Christmas party in Marsh Baldon around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What’s the nearest station to Marsh Baldon?
Radley station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Is Marsh Baldon close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?

Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
What time is best for food?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas lunch, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
