How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Aldermaston Soke, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Aldermaston Soke parties: what to know
Aldermaston Soke is about 2 miles north-east of Tadley, in West Berkshire. In and around Aldermaston Soke, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Aldermaston Soke is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 8 miles away.
Within reach of Aldermaston Soke are historic houses such as The Vyne (4.5 miles south). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
This part of West Berkshire takes in RG7, and we can serve your party anywhere in it. We can serve a party on streets such as Benyon Road and Soke Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. Other places close to Aldermaston Soke we cover include Old Warren (1 mile north), Pamber Heath (1 mile south), Padworth Common (1 mile north), Silchester (1 mile south-east) and Tadley (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newbury (9 miles west), Thatcham (7 miles west), Burghfield Common (3 miles north-east), Speenhamland (9 miles west), Spencers Wood (7 miles east) and Calcot (6 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Calleva Museum (1.3 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Hosehill Lake.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Aldermaston Soke?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Questions from Aldermaston Soke
Which station is closest to Aldermaston Soke?
The closest is Aldermaston station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Saint Luke's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can the van come to our street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Will the van fit on our drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Where the van can park in Aldermaston Soke

Should I sort the food myself?
