Fresh fish and chips in Tubney
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Tubney
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a lit, sheltered spot, and service timed so people are not outside for long. Whether it’s christmas fairs and lights switch-ons and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Near Tubney, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Festive bookings around Tubney
Tubney is about 4 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. People in Tubney book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Tubney is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 7 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Abingdon Preparatory School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Questions from Tubney
Do you come out to small places like Tubney?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Tubney from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can’t 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. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A cold buffet in December is not much of a treat. Hot food from the van does. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
