Running an event in Windsor and Maidenhead

Maidenhead: If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Claires Court Schools, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. Running a fête for a church like All Saints' Church? A chip van draws people in. Summer events in Maidenhead have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • What they can offer for dietary needs
  • The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
  • The deadline for final numbers

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Share pitch details
  • Arrange bins and waste collection
  • Set a time for helpers’ food
  • Have other stalls for special diets

If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.

Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

What affects the price in Windsor and Maidenhead

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Your choice of menu
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Any minimum charge
  • The length of service

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

  • Your date and serving time
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Where the event is
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Still finalising the details? That is fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Windsor and Maidenhead: your questions answered

Do you pay a pitch fee?

We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

When do you arrive?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

Can the van park on the street?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

Can you come to a school event?

Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
