Party fish and chip van in Bagnor
How our party fish and chip van works in Bagnor
Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. We are often asked to cater anniversaries and engagement parties and birthday parties, serving haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
A country party near Bagnor is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Mention the van to neighbours
After service, we pack up.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
A chip van compared with other options
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Here we cover the RG14 and RG20 postcode area. From Bath Road, Pound Lane and Speen Lane or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to parties in Speen (1 mile south), Donnington (1 mile north-east), Speenhamland (1 mile east), Stockcross (1 mile west) and Marsh Benham (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Thatcham (4 miles east), Burghfield Common (12 miles east), Hungerford (7 miles west), Calcot (13 miles east), Lambourn (10 miles north-west) and Burghfield Hill (13 miles east).

What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. A summer party in Bagnor stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
