Fish and chip van for events for Sunninghill events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Sunninghill

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it is cool. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

Running an event in Sunninghill
Sunninghill is about 4 miles east of Bracknell, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us where your event in Sunninghill will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Sunninghill is one of 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 11 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Sunninghill questions
Can the van park in Silwood Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Sunninghill?
Ascot station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What are the terms for events?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For an evening event in Sunninghill, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Perfect for your event in Sunninghill
It keeps people on site.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:

- Summer fairs
- Festivals
- School summer fairs
If your event is in Silwood Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
What your quote should include
- A clear list of what’s included
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- The deposit and payment dates
- Whether travel is included
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Display allergens for each stall
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
