Questions from Stanford Dingley
Is Stanford Dingley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Denys?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your party. Autumn and winter parties in Stanford Dingley get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

Stanford Dingley parties: what to know
Stanford Dingley is about 5 miles north-east of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. For a party in Stanford Dingley, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around Stanford Dingley. We take the van to all 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Stanford Dingley to Reading (8 miles away).
Within reach of Stanford Dingley are historic houses such as Basildon Park (4.5 miles north-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. Guests arriving by train should know that Aldermaston station is about 3.3 miles away. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Stanford Dingley, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
