Why choose a fish and chip van in St. Ebbes?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover St. Ebbes and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Quick service from the hatch

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Christmas parties in St. Ebbes: local tips
St. Ebbes is about 1 mile west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. We cover St. Ebbes as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. St. Ebbes is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van.
A winter fair at a school like Oxford Media & Business School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. A Christmas fair at St Ebbe's Church is just the kind of event a chip van suits.

Streets in the area include New Road, Shoe Lane and Osney Lane, and the van can serve a Christmas party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. You’ll find St. Ebbes on the A420, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in St John Street area (1 mile north), Grandpont (1 mile south), Osney (1 mile west), Jericho (1 mile north-west) and St Clement's (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (5 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (12 miles east).

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in St. Ebbes means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in
