About our fish and chip van hire in Yattendon
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for wakes and gatherings after a funeral and evening wedding food.
Somewhere like Yattendon, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count children separately
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Yattendon until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Yattendon questions
How far is Yattendon from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you cover Yattendon?
We do. We serve events in Yattendon and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is it a full meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
