How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. December in Burghfield Hill means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What affects the price in Burghfield Hill
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
