Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the spot with the venue

Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Towersey
Is Towersey 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.
What’s the nearest station to Towersey?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
