Fish and chip van for events for your event in Paley Street
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it is sports days and community open days, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
For a village fête or field event near Paley Street, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in Paley Street
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A clear quote before booking
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, 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.
Paley Street questions
What’s the nearest station to Paley Street?
The closest is Maidenhead station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Paley Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Do you do festivals?
Often, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
