How our fish and chip van hire works in Slough Green
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it’s evening wedding food and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Somewhere as small as Slough Green, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Slough Green?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Classic food your guests already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Slough Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
