Holyport: venues, parking and local tips
Holyport is about 2 miles south of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Holyport is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Holyport is one of 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead we cover. Our bookings stretch from Holyport to Reading (about 12 miles away).
Thinking of using Ockwells Park? Parks generally need the owner’s permission, often the council’s, before a catering van can park or trade. For guests coming by train, Maidenhead station is about 1.8 miles away.
For events in SL6, we just need to know where the van can park. Streets in the area include Ascot Road, Holyport Street and Hearne Drive, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot. For events just outside Holyport, we cover Moneyrow Green (1 mile south), Stud Green (1 mile west), Touchen-end (1 mile south-west), Paley Street (2 miles south-west) and Braywoodside (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Windsor (4 miles east), North Ascot (5 miles south), Cookham (4 miles north), Furze Platt (3 miles north), Dedworth (3 miles east) and Broomhall (8 miles south-east).
Well-known places in the area include St Mark's Hospital (2.5 miles north-west) and Windsor Castle (4.9 miles east). The countryside around Holyport includes Weycock Hill and Taplow Lake.
- Schools near Holyport include Holyport College (0.9 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Belgian Arms (less than half a mile south-east)
Fish and chip van hire in Holyport, cooked to order
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. Whether it’s community events and fairs and staff lunches and team days, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Holyport, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 normally the easier option.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Cold buffets are easy but forgettable, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why Holyport hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Space, access and the venue

- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Around midsummer it stays light in Holyport until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan bins near the queue
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.

Holyport questions
What’s the nearest station to Holyport?
Maidenhead station, about 1.8 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park in Ockwells Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What comes out of the fryer
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 is lovely with a pie.
