What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Boyn Hill; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Boyn Hill
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: 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. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Ockwells Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Boyn Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Boyn Hill and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us your date to check availability.
How many people should we cater for?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll tell you right away whether we’re available.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Allow for the service running over
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
Takeaway run or book a 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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
