Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Heyford
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Upper Heyford
It’s a crowd-pleaser, which makes it a safe choice for a mixed team. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and work Christmas parties.
In Upper Heyford, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan cover for the queue
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Upper Heyford
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. In December, it is dark in Upper Heyford by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
