How fish and chip van hire works in Bracknell Forest

We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. We’re often asked to cater visits to care homes and day centres and evening wedding food, with mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.

Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Working with your venue

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.

Is a fish and chip van right for you?

A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
  • Any travel, parking or access charges
  • When final numbers are due
  • Allergen information for each item

Common questions in Bracknell Forest

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Can we choose cod or haddock?

Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Who clears up?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Can the van park on grass?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
