What else we do in Temple Park
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Evenings in Temple Park stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

What affects the price in Temple Park
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
FAQs for Temple Park
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Temple Park?
Bracknell station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
What if we only have street parking?
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.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
