About our fish and chip van hire in Old Windsor
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. For community events and fairs and visits to care homes and day centres, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Around Old Windsor, bookings are often at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
The process
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Old Windsor, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

A chip van compared with other options
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Put allergy details in writing
- Put bins and napkins by the van
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
