A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat

Planning a Christmas party in Lower Denford
Lower Denford is about 7 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Lower Denford is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover 155 places across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Lower Denford to Reading (about 22 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Hungerford Methodist Church can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Hungerford Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Lower Denford is within about 7 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

How the day 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. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Lower Denford; light the path to the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
