Book the van in Towersey
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About our party fish and chip van in Towersey
There’s no need for a venue: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for retirement celebrations and milestone birthdays.
In a small place like Towersey, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let your neighbours know
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
A few lights around the van look great.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Autumn and winter parties in Towersey get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
