Fresh fish and chips in Winkfield
How our fish and chip van hire works in Winkfield
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include wakes and gatherings after a funeral and work Christmas parties, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
Somewhere like Winkfield, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Light matters for evening service: around Winkfield, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day

- Name one person we can call on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Questions from Winkfield
Which station is closest to Winkfield?
The closest is Ascot station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?

Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Winkfield.

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
