Fish and chip van hire in Kiln Green, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for company team days and fish and chip days at care homes.
In a hamlet or village like Kiln Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
FAQs for Kiln Green
What’s the nearest station to Kiln Green?
Wargrave station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Peter: can you come?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
