Christmas party fish and chips in Tetsworth, fried fresh
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and new Year parties, with gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Tetsworth, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Festive bookings around Tetsworth
Tetsworth is about 3 miles south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. For Christmas parties in Tetsworth, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Tetsworth. We serve all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 10 miles away.
If a church like Church of St Giles is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Tetsworth Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Tetsworth; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We serve Christmas parties across the OX9 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include High Street, Swan Gardens and Back Street; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in North Weston (2 miles north), Milton Common (3 miles north-west), Albury (3 miles north-west), Great Haseley (3 miles west) and Tiddington (3 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Oxford (10 miles west), Didcot (12 miles south-west), Bicester (15 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles west), Thame (3 miles north-east) and Henley-on-Thames (13 miles south).
Nearby you’ll also find Thame Museum (2.9 miles north) and Thame Community Hospital (2.8 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Wells Farm and Bald Hill.
- Local pubs include The Swan pub (within half a mile west)
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In December, it’s dark in Tetsworth by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

- Book as early as possible for December

Questions from Tetsworth
How far is Tetsworth from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Tetsworth too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Will the weather be a problem?
The van copes fine. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. Fridays in December book up first.
Can the van come to Tetsworth?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Tetsworth is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
