Your questions about a fish and chip van in Britwell Salome
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Britwell Salome?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What is fish and chip van hire?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What else we do in Britwell Salome
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.
How we price a fish and chip van
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The minimum booking
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Why choose fish and chip van hire in Britwell Salome?
Fish and chips suits nearly every crowd, young and old alike. The queue at the hatch gets people talking.

- Festive get-togethers
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Big birthdays
If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Nicholas, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van.
Before booking anyone

- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Whether there’s a minimum
- The deadline for final numbers
Step by step
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
