The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Winter fairs in Stubbles are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or RG8 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- What’s available on the pitch
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
Common questions in 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.

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Stubbles? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
