Fish and chip van for events for your event in Crowthorne
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We serve curry sauce, chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals.
A town like Crowthorne has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A chip van suits all of them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Space for a queue away from paths
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Crowthorne are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Running an event in Crowthorne
Crowthorne is about 3 miles south-west of Bracknell, in Wokingham. We park up at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Crowthorne and nearby villages. We take the van to 35 places in Wokingham, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Crowthorne to Reading (about 9 miles away).
Events in parks such as Edgbarrow Woods need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch. A summer fête at Crowthorne Methodist Church is the classic setting for a fish and chip van.
We take the van to events all over RG45 and RG40 and the streets around it. From Church Road East, Church Road West and High Street or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Being close to the A321 and B3348, Crowthorne is easy for us to reach. If your venue is just outside Crowthorne, we also cover Owlsmoor (1 mile south-east), Home Farm (1 mile north-east), Wooden Hill (2 miles north-east), Sandhurst (2 miles south) and Hanworth (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Reading (9 miles north-west), Wokingham (3 miles north-west), Woodley (7 miles north-west), Earley (7 miles north-west), Lower Earley (6 miles north-west) and Winnersh (5 miles north-west). As one of the bigger places in Wokingham, Crowthorne has lots of places where the van can park.
A little further out are The Lexicon (3.7 miles north-east) and Pinewood Hospital (0.9 miles north). Within reach you will find Wildmoor Heath and Heath Lake.
- Local schools include King Edward VI Aston School (less than half a mile north-west)

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
