FAQs for Tubney
Is Tubney too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How early do summer dates go?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We’re often booked for:

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. We handle the cooking and serving. A summer party in Tubney stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your party. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
