Questions from Eddington
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Eddington?
Eddington has its own station: Hungerford station.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you come to Eddington?
We do. We serve events in Eddington and across West Berkshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What will the production need?

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and we agree exactly where before the day. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Eddington: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
- Your choice of menu
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time

Why choose a fish and chip van in Eddington?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Something for crew to gather round
- No surprises in your quote
Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 crew instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send the unit base address and directions
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
