Our fish and chip van hire in West Berkshire

Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. On the menu are haddock and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for garden get-togethers and christmas parties.

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up.

A fish and chip van across West Berkshire: what to know

West Berkshire covers everything from Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to 139 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across West Berkshire, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.

Newbury: Churches such as St Nicolas Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as St Nicolas C.E. Junior School, can book the van as a food stall. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Newbury, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Looking after everyone

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Fewer choices mean faster service
Give us separate numbers for children
Add an allergy question to your invitations
Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

After service, we pack up.

Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

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.
