About our fish and chip van hire in Brightwalton Green
There is something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. For festive get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
Somewhere as small as Brightwalton Green, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Questions from Brightwalton Green
Do you come out to small places like Brightwalton Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you cover Brightwalton Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Brightwalton Green and across West Berkshire. Send us your date to check availability.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- A short menu helps everyone
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Put bins and napkins by the van
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
For event organisers in Brightwalton Green
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Brightwalton Green?
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Brightwalton Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Get permission for the van from the venue
