Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

Stoke Row questions
Can you come to a school fair in Stoke Row?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Stoke Row close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to Stoke Row?
We do. Stoke Row is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices

About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Stoke Row?
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Running an event in Stoke Row
Stoke Row is about 6 miles north-west of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. For an event in Stoke Row, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 7 miles away.
A summer fête at Church of St John the Evangelist is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. Within about 7 miles is the Chilterns National Landscape, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
Events anywhere in RG9 and RG8 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. Whether your event is on Main Street, Nottwood Lane and Busgrove Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. We also bring the van to events in Checkendon (1 mile west), Heath End (2 miles north-west), Hook End (2 miles south-west), Nuffield (2 miles north) and Gallowstree Common (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Didcot (11 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles north-west), Thame (14 miles north), Henley-on-Thames (5 miles east), Benson (6 miles north-west) and Chinnor (11 miles north-east).
Open spaces near Stoke Row include Warburg Nature Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include Cherry Tree Public House (within half a mile south-east)
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally 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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For an evening event in Stoke Row, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
