What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event in Kintbury. December events in Kintbury lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch
- No kitchen needed
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Running an event in Kintbury
Kintbury is about 5 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Bookings in Kintbury come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Kintbury is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 21 miles away.
A school like Kintbury St Mary's C.E. Primary School can book the van for a fair, fun run or sports day. Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Mary, are a natural home for a chip van.
Anywhere in RG17, we can fry fresh for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean an event at a home on Station Road, High Street and Morrish Grove, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve events in Hell Corner (2 miles south), Inkpen (2 miles south-west), Inkpen Common (2 miles south), Lower Green (2 miles south-west) and Upper Green (2 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newbury (5 miles east), Thatcham (8 miles east), Speenhamland (5 miles east), Hungerford (3 miles west), Lambourn (8 miles north-west) and Shaw (6 miles east).

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Set a time for helpers’ food

- Settle the pitch terms early
We set up before visitors arrive.
A few benches near the van help.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
