About our fish and chip van hire in Bray Wick
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. We’re often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and school events and visits to care homes and day centres, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a rural spot like Bray Wick, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Bray Wick
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
Send us the date, the address or SL6 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Give us separate numbers for children
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why book with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Bray Wick
Can you serve after a service at St Michael's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bray Wick?
Maidenhead station, about 1.4 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
