Fish and chip van for events for Hungerford events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Hungerford
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll tell you quickly whether we can come. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and village fêtes and summer fairs, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Near Hungerford, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Arrange bins and waste collection
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
