About our fish and chip van for events in Windsor
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. We are frequently asked to cater church fêtes and sports tournaments, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and chips.
Community events in Windsor frequently rely on a few good food stalls. A chip van is one visitors will queue for. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events in Windsor 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree who removes waste
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Details of any power or water on site
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
There is 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.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the space and the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For a stall visitors will queue for, a chip van is hard to beat. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why Windsor hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote

- A van that becomes part of the event

For event organisers in Windsor
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Can the van park in Sutherland Grange?

Can you come to a school fair in Windsor?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.

We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
