Christmas parties in Pyrton: local tips
Pyrton is about 6 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. For a Christmas party in Pyrton, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Pyrton. We take the van to all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 12 miles away.
A Christmas fair at St Mary's Church or All Saints Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Pyrton; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

About our Christmas party fish and chips in Pyrton
Everything is fried inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. For christmas lunches for shift teams and PTA Christmas events, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In winter near Pyrton, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Pyrton, so put the van where there is good light.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a 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.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
