How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Beech Hill
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and summer garden parties.
Country parties near Beech Hill suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Beech Hill: your questions answered
Could you trade in Swallowfield Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Beech Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Beech Hill.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Beech Hill parties: what to know
Beech Hill is about 5 miles south of Reading, in West Berkshire. Tell us where your party in Beech Hill will be, and we will plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Beech Hill is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover.
If you had Swallowfield Meadow in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans cannot simply park up and serve in a public park. Among the historic houses close to Beech Hill are Stratfield Saye House (1.7 miles south). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on catering vans first.
Anywhere in RG7, we can fry fresh for your guests. From Wood Lane and Vale View Drive or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Other places close to Beech Hill we cover include Grazeley (2 miles north), Swallowfield (2 miles east), Riseley (2 miles south-east), Spencers Wood (2 miles north-east) and Heckfield Heath (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newbury (14 miles west), Thatcham (11 miles west), Burghfield Common (3 miles north-west), Speenhamland (14 miles west), Calcot (5 miles north-west) and Shaw (14 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Royal Berkshire Hospital (5.5 miles north) and Beaumys Castle (0.6 miles east). Within reach you’ll find Longwater and The Marshes Local Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include Oakbank (2.4 miles north-east)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in Beech Hill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Beech Hill, 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.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
