About our Christmas party fish and chips in Steventon
December dates book up early, so ask as soon as you know yours. For work Christmas parties and family Christmas get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In winter near Steventon, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Christmas catering near Steventon
Steventon is about 3 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX13, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. Steventon is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 10 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, suit a chip van. A Christmas fair at Church of St Michael and All Angels is just the kind of event a chip van suits.
Wherever your Christmas party is in OX13, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party at a home on High Street, St Michael's Way and Hanney Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Ensure 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.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
