A chip van near Wytham
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Wytham
The cooking is inside the van, so rain and cold do not stop us. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for family Christmas get-togethers and end-of-year club parties.
For a Christmas party near Wytham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Wytham
Do you come out to small places like Wytham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Wytham close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
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.
Details that help
The more we know about your Christmas party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
