About our fish and chip van hire in Forest Park
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and festive get-togethers, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Around Forest Park, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If the road in is narrow, tell us so we can plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What affects the price in Forest Park
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Forest Park
How far is Forest Park from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van come to Forest Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Forest Park is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll tell you honestly how service will work.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Perfect for your event in Forest Park
It’s ideal for relaxed, sociable occasions, with people coming up to the hatch as they please.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Big birthdays
- Summer garden parties
- Staff lunches and team days
For guests coming by train, Forest Park has its own station, Martins Heron station.
Questions to ask before you book
- The deadline for final numbers
- Payment terms and deposit
- If the price includes VAT
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.

A chip van compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What you get with us
- Something for guests to gather round
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Hot food handed straight over
- Events in Forest Park and across Bracknell Forest
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Forest Park, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
