Planning an event in Wexham Court?
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Fish and chip van hire in Wexham Court, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. For work Christmas parties and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In a small place like Wexham Court, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we will plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Questions from Wexham Court
Which station is closest to Wexham Court?
The closest is Slough station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come to Wexham Court?
We do. Wexham Court is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 typically the easier option.
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.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Wexham Court stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- It starts with your date, venue, 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.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
