Fish and chip van hire for your event in Aston
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. For community events and fairs and garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Aston, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Plan bins near the queue
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
Fish and chip van hire around Aston
Aston is about 2 miles north-east of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. In and around Aston, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 8 miles away.
Within reach of Aston are historic houses such as Greenlands (1 mile north-west) and Harleyford Manor (2.6 miles east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Thinking of using Fawley Court and Temple Island? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. Aston is within about 8 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and some venues there have rules about vehicles on site. Ask your venue about vehicle access.
We serve events across the RG9 postcode area. Whether your event is on Remenham Lane and Aston Ferry Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. By late September, sunset in Aston is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Could you trade in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How much is fish and chip van hire?

Where do you take the van?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Aston?
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
