Owlswick in December: what to know
Owlswick is about 5 miles east of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Tell us where your Christmas party in Owlswick will be, and we will plan access and set-up before the day. Owlswick is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Owlswick to Oxford (16 miles away).
If a church like Owlswick Chapel is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Monks Risborough station is about 1.5 miles away. Owlswick is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Anywhere in HP27, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Meadle (1 mile east), Longwick (1 mile south), Ilmer (1 mile west), Alscot (1 mile south-east) and Monks Risborough (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (5 miles north), High Wycombe (9 miles south-east), Chesham (11 miles east), Marlow (13 miles south), Amersham (12 miles south-east) and Beaconsfield (13 miles south-east).

- Local schools include Princes Risborough School (2.4 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion Public House (0.9 miles south)
Christmas party fish and chips in Owlswick, fried fresh
We plan winter events around the dark and the weather: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people aren’t outside for long. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and family Christmas get-togethers.
In winter near Owlswick, we need firm ground and light. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Owlswick
Is Owlswick too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Owlswick?
Monks Risborough station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening typically works best. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Keep the queue dry
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Put allergy details in writing
When service is finished, we pack up.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote

- Allergies and diets you know about
