How our fish and chip van hire works in Hungerford Green
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Hungerford Green. Whether it’s staff thank-you lunches and care home visits, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and curry sauce and more.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford Green, 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Planning an evening event in Hungerford Green? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, tell us 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Count children separately
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
