How our fish and chip van hire works in Remenham Hill

Fish and chips is generous food: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater wakes and celebrations of life and evening wedding food.

In a small place like Remenham Hill, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Step by step

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Light matters for evening service: around Remenham Hill, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What affects the price in Remenham Hill

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • How far we travel
  • Access and parking
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Numbers

The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What to tell us

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The date and time of the event

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
  • A short menu helps everyone
  • Plan bins near the queue

Fish and chips is best eaten right away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?

A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and normally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

What you get with us

  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
