Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A fish and chip van in Towersey: local details
Towersey is about 1 mile east of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Tell us where your event in Towersey will be, and we will plan access and set-up. Towersey is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 13 miles away.
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Lord Williams's School, can book the van as a food stall. After a service at Church of St Catherine, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Towersey is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.
Here we cover the OX9 postcode area, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. From Lower Green, Thame Road and Windmill Close or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Nearby, we also serve events in Kingsey (1 mile north-east), Thame (1 mile west), Emmington (2 miles south), Haddenham (2 miles north) and Sydenham (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (13 miles west), Bicester (14 miles north-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (15 miles west), Henley-on-Thames (15 miles south), Benson (11 miles south-west) and Chinnor (3 miles south).
A little further out are Dinton Castle (4.3 miles north-east) and Thame Community Hospital (1.4 miles west). The countryside around Towersey includes Snakemoor.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan bins near the queue
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive in good time, set up, cook and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Other occasions in Towersey
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Late September evenings in Towersey lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
