Fish and chip van for events across West Berkshire

School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Popular choices include mushy peas, chips and curry sauce, and we are frequently booked for sports days and feeding event crew.

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and cook and serve without fuss.

Local landmarks in Newbury

Bookings here are frequently close to St Nicolas Church, Victoria Park and St Bartholomew's School. Nearby too are The Diamond Tap (less than half a mile north-east), St Nicolas C.E. Junior School (under half a mile south) and St Bartholomew's School (0.6 miles south-west). There is a railway station in Newbury itself: Newbury station. Nearby you’ll also find Donnington Castle (1.6 miles north-west) and West Berkshire Community Hospital (1.5 miles east). The countryside around Newbury includes Audrey's Meadow.

Event catering across West Berkshire

In West Berkshire’s villages, events may have limited power and water, and town events in Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common need quick service for bigger crowds. The van does both. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across West Berkshire, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles.

Newbury: For visitors coming by rail, Newbury has its own station, Newbury station. Running a fête for a church like St Nicolas Church? A chip van draws people in. In Newbury, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.

Allergies and dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Ask traders for allergen information to display
Give us an idea of numbers
Let us know about allergy rules on site
Offer a choice of traders where you can

When the event closes, we pack up.

Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

Access and parking
The minimum booking
Your choice of menu
Distance and any road charges

Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

Roughly how many people, including children
Any dietary needs and allergies
Anything awkward about the way in
Where the van would park

Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. 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 solves that by cooking on site.

About the food

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

What the van needs

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

Information about power and water
Firm, level ground for the pitch
Confirmation the van can trade there

Common questions in West Berkshire

What do we need to supply?

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

Do you pay a pitch fee?

Tell us how your event typically works with traders, and we will agree terms.

Is there a non-fish option?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Do you trade at schools?

Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.

What if the weather’s bad?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
