About our fish and chip van for events in Nuptown
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for feeding event crew and fish and chip supper nights.
Rural events near Nuptown can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Which station is closest to Nuptown?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?

What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you have allergen information?
