Fish and chip van hire for your event in Brooklands
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: open service, or food at a fixed time. We will recommend what fits. Typical bookings include wakes and celebrations of life and staff thank-you lunches, with pie and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
For a place the size of Brooklands, your own drive is often the best spot: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Brooklands questions
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Brooklands from London?
About 19 miles from central London.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van cost in Brooklands?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Brooklands, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
