About our fish and chip van hire in Popeswood
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for staff thank-you lunches and big birthdays.
There may be a hall or club near Popeswood if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Popeswood: your questions answered
Is Popeswood close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Popeswood?
Bracknell station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you feed plenty of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
Is it a full meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
