Fish and chip van hire for your event in Rotherfield Peppard
There’s something generous about fish and chips: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It makes the food a talking point. For community events and fairs and staff lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Somewhere like Rotherfield Peppard, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count children separately
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.

A fish and chip van in Rotherfield Peppard: local details
Rotherfield Peppard is about 4 miles north of Caversham, in Oxfordshire. Rotherfield Peppard is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Rotherfield Peppard is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 6 miles away.
Historic houses near Rotherfield Peppard include Greys Court (1.4 miles north-east) and Mapledurham House (4 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early. Churches such as Church of All Saints rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by typically does. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Rotherfield Peppard. Check your venue’s rules on catering vans.
Here we cover the RG9 postcode area. Whether your event is on Dray's Lane, Church Lane and Springwood Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve events include Peppard Hill (1 mile west), Kingwood Common (1 mile west), Sonning Common (1 mile south), Shepherd's Green (1 mile north) and Kidmore End (2 miles south-west).

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
If you want something everyone will enjoy, a fish and chip van is a safe and popular choice. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Late September evenings in Rotherfield Peppard lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van

Rotherfield Peppard: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Rotherfield Peppard?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
