How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. 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
To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Fish and chip van for events in Wooden Hill, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For crew and volunteer catering and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For a village fête or field event near Wooden Hill, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Organising for someone else?

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Wooden Hill
What’s the nearest station to Wooden Hill?
Bracknell station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Wooden Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in Wooden Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
