Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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 staff instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Aldermaston Wharf? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
