Fresh fish and chips in East Garston Woodlands
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in East Garston Woodlands
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for customer days and workplace fundraising days.
Rural businesses around East Garston Woodlands can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

East Garston Woodlands: your questions answered
Is East Garston Woodlands too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to East Garston Woodlands?
The closest is Hungerford station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
For event organisers in East Garston Woodlands
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- The number of meals
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
