Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Summer events in Riseley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Riseley? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Questions from Riseley
Could you trade in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is Riseley close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Do you come to Riseley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Riseley is within our area and the rest of West Berkshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
