How our party fish and chip van works in Stubbles
You don’t need to hire a hall: a chip van on the drive turns your home into the venue. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and birthday parties, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Near Stubbles, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Organising for someone else?

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Stubbles parties: what to know
Stubbles is about 7 miles north-east of Thatcham, in Oxfordshire. Tell us where your party in Stubbles will be, and we will plan the route and the parking spot. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire. You can also see our page for Reading, about 9 miles away.
If guests are coming by rail, Goring & Streatley station is about 3.1 miles away. Nearby historic houses include Basildon Park (2.5 miles north-east). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules. Stubbles is within about 4 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We cover parties in every part of the RG8 postcode area and the streets around it. Nearby, we also serve parties in Ashampstead (1 mile north-west), Ashampstead Green (1 mile north-west), Upper Basildon (1 mile east), Burnt Hill (1 mile south) and New Town (2 miles east). Further out, we also take the van to Didcot (9 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (14 miles north), Wantage (13 miles north-west), Henley-on-Thames (12 miles east), Grove (14 miles north-west) and Benson (10 miles north).
A little further out are Yattendon Castle (1.8 miles south-west). The countryside around Stubbles includes Hartslock.

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

Comparing caterers
- Any minimum charge
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How much space the van takes up
- If the price includes VAT
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
