Planning an event in Hinxhill Park?
For event organisers in Hinxhill Park
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Hinxhill Park
We keep the menu to the classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Hinxhill Park, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Tell people when the van opens, so they don’t miss out.

Hinxhill Park questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Hinxhill Park too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hinxhill Park.
Do you cover Hinxhill Park?
Yes, we do. Hinxhill Park is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
