Fish and chip van hire around Enborne
Enborne is about 2 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. From the centre of Enborne to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 155 places in West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Enborne to Reading (18 miles away).

Questions from Enborne
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Michael?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Enborne from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
