A chip van compared with other options
A cold buffet in December isn’t much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your Christmas party.

Christmas parties in Somerton: local tips
Somerton is about 6 miles north-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. From the centre of Somerton to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 14 miles away.
A Christmas fair at Church of St James is just the kind of event a chip van suits.

The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. In December, it is dark in Somerton by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We clear our spot and head off.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
