Fish and chip van hire for your event in Dorney Reach
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. For big birthdays and christmas parties, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere as small as Dorney Reach, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Dorney Reach
How far is Dorney Reach from London?
About 25 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Dorney Reach?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Dorney Reach, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Preparing for the day
