How our fish and chip van for events works in Old Windsor
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers, or both. Whether it’s horse and dog shows and fundraisers, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips.
Events near Old Windsor are often volunteer-run, so a self-sufficient van helps. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Old Windsor: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Old Windsor?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
