FAQs for Stadhampton
Is Stadhampton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Stadhampton?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan cover for the queue
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- December Fridays go first: book early
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For event organisers in Stadhampton
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
