Twyford station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Is Hungerford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
