How our fish and chip van hire works in Easthampstead
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We are often asked to cater wakes and gatherings after a funeral and village fêtes and school fairs, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
There may be a hall or club near Easthampstead if the drive is small; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
