Christmas party fish and chips in Woodstock
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Woodstock
Not every Christmas party needs a turkey dinner. Hot fish and chips on a cold December day is festive in its own way. We serve gravy, curry sauce and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas lunches for shift teams and christmas socials for clubs.
For a Christmas get-together near Woodstock, a chip van on the drive is a treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Woodstock questions
What’s the nearest station to Woodstock?
The closest is Hanborough station, roughly 2 miles away.
How far is Woodstock from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Check the van can park on site
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Afterwards, we pack up.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
