Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Questions from Boveney
Which station is closest to Boveney?
Windsor & Eton Central station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
How far is Boveney from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Boveney?
People book a chip van because it is food and a bit of fun at once. The van becomes a focal point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
Here are some of the occasions we serve:
- Weddings, especially the evening
- Staff lunches and team days
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Community events and fairs
If you had Sutherland Grange in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.

What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups normally 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.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Evenings in Boveney stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Confirm allergies by email
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
