For event organisers in Donnington

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

Collect allergies in advance
Share the shift pattern
Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Find out what documents the site needs

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

Donnington questions

Is Donnington close to London?

Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.

Which station is closest to Donnington?

The closest is Newbury station, roughly 1.5 miles away.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Do you come to Donnington?

Yes, we do. Donnington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

How does payment work for businesses?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

What does the van need?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Donnington, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.

About the food

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
