How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Stubbles
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. For club and society Christmas socials and school and PTA Christmas fairs, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
In a small place like Stubbles, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

FAQs for Stubbles
Do you come out to small places like Stubbles?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Stubbles?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is generally wise. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Stubbles?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet doesn’t feel festive. Hot food from the van does. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Stubbles, so put the van where there is good light.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
