Fish and chip van for events across Wokingham
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We serve haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for horse and dog shows and food for volunteers.
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
What you’ll pay
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

Reading’s nearest station is Reading West station, about 0.7 miles north-west.

Running an event in Wokingham
Across Wokingham, fairs, fêtes and shows happen in Reading, Woodley and Earley and in 21 villages and hamlets. A chip van suits all of them.
Reading: If your event is in Eldon Square, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as All Nations Christian Centre, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. At midsummer, events in Reading stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree the terms in writing
We set up before visitors arrive.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
