Brightwalton Green is one of 155 places in West Berkshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Brightwalton Green to Oxford (18 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Brightwalton C.E. Aided Primary School, suit a chip van. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Brightwalton Green; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

- Agree the spot with the venue
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send round an allergy question
Plan cover for the queue.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In December, it is dark in Brightwalton Green by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?

Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
