Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

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’s fried on the spot.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

South Moreton questions
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to South Moreton?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Christmas parties in South Moreton: local tips

We serve all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from South Moreton to Oxford (about 11 miles away).

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
