Middle Assendon questions

What’s the nearest station to Middle Assendon?

The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 2.7 miles away.

Is Middle Assendon too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you do Christmas markets?

We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.

How early do Christmas dates go?

Ideally in the summer or early autumn.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Middle Assendon?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Why us?

  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Middle Assendon

Working with your venue

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

The process

We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Plan your Christmas party in Middle Assendon around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What we serve

  • Curry sauce
  • Gravy
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
