Event catering near Upper Lambourn
Upper Lambourn is about 7 miles south-west of Wantage, in West Berkshire.

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Upper Lambourn are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
