About fish and chip van hire in Slough

The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for garden get-togethers and gatherings after a funeral.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves.

Fish and chip van hire in Slough: local guide

Across Slough, we serve 3 towns and 21 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell or a quiet village, the approach is the same: firm ground, access and agreed timings.

Slough: If you had Herschel Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Slough station, roughly 0.7 miles east of the centre. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Slough, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
