Christmas party fish and chips in Stoke Row
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. It gets dark in Stoke Row by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and service timed so people are not outside for long. For christmas family parties and festive gatherings after Christmas, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips and more.
In winter near Stoke Row, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

We cover 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 7 miles away.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Stoke Row: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Stoke Row too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you cover Stoke Row?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Stoke Row and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, use our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
