A chip van near Witney
Festive bookings around Witney
Witney is about 11 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Whether your Christmas party is in the middle of Witney or on the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. We serve 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Witney to Oxford (11 miles away).
Witney is on or near the A40 and A415, so we can reach it easily in winter. If a church like Witney Congregational Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.
For Christmas parties in OX28 and OX29, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Carpenters Square, High Street and Market Square or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Witney sits on or near the A40 and A415, which makes travel to your Christmas party easy. For Christmas parties just outside Witney, we cover Cogges (1 mile east), Madley Park (1 mile east), Ducklington (1 mile south), High Cogges (2 miles east) and South Leigh (3 miles east). Further out, we also take the van to Oxford (11 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles south-east), Carterton (5 miles west), Wantage (14 miles south), Grove (13 miles south) and Faringdon (10 miles south-west). Witney is among the bigger towns we cover in Oxfordshire, with plenty of venues for Christmas parties.

- Pubs nearby include New Inn Public House (within half a mile south)
Christmas party fish and chips in Witney, cooked to order
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold don’t stop us. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for work Christmas parties and PTA Christmas events.
In a town like Witney, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. We need a lit spot close to the door. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
