Aldermaston station, about 1.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Beenham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we will send a quote.

Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
