The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Typical bookings include feeding event crew and fundraisers, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and chips.
At a field event near Shottesbrooke, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

FAQs for Shottesbrooke
Can you come to a school fair in Shottesbrooke?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Shottesbrooke close to London?
About 30 miles from central London.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Is grass a problem?
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 the van come to Shottesbrooke?
We do. We serve events in Shottesbrooke and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, events in Shottesbrooke stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A chip van compared with other options
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
