Fish and chip van hire for Eton Wick events
Fish and chip van hire in Eton Wick, fried fresh
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. For care home visits and festive get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Somewhere as small as Eton Wick, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. 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.

Eton Wick: venues, parking and local tips
Eton Wick is about 1 mile north of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us where your event in Eton Wick will be, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Eton Wick is one of 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead we cover. You can also see our page for Reading, about 15 miles away.
A green space like Sutherland Grange is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. After a service at Church of Saint John the Baptist, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.
This part of Windsor and Maidenhead takes in SL4, and we can serve your event anywhere in it. Your event could be at a house on Eton Wick Road, Princes Close and The Wheatbutts, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Boveney (1 mile south-west), Clewer (1 mile south-east), Eton (1 mile east), Windsor (1 mile south) and Dedworth (1 mile south). Further out, we also take the van to Maidenhead (4 miles west), Boyn Hill (5 miles west), North Ascot (6 miles south-west), Cookham (6 miles north-west), Furze Platt (5 miles north-west) and Broomhall (7 miles south).
Nearby you will also find King Edward VII Hospital (1.9 miles south-east) and The History On Wheels Museum (within half a mile north-east). Open spaces near Eton Wick include Taplow Lake and Bray Pit.
- Nearby schools include The Westgate School (1.2 miles north) and Westgate School (1.2 miles north)

Why choose a fish and chip van in Eton Wick?
Next to 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. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Eton Wick, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning help
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
