How our fish and chip van hire works in Whitegrove
There is something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It makes the food a talking point. Typical bookings include staff lunches and team days and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
There may be a hall or club near Whitegrove if the drive is small; any can work for the van, with the owner’s agreement. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Questions from Whitegrove
Which station is closest to Whitegrove?
Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. 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 generally the easier option.
