A chip van near Oxshott
Christmas party fish and chips in Oxshott, cooked to order
A Christmas party doesn’t have to mean another turkey dinner. Fish and chips from the van is warming, generous and a bit different. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs at schools and festive family gatherings, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
At a festive party in Oxshott, a chip van on the drive is a treat. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
