Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Who books party fish and chip van in Brimpton Common?
Fresh food beats a tired buffet, especially as the evening cools.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:
- Engagement parties
- Family reunions
- Milestone birthdays
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
After a christening at a church like Church of St Nicholas, a chip van at home is an easy way to feed family and friends.

Brimpton Common: your questions answered
How far is Brimpton Common from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cover Brimpton Common?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Brimpton Common and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- A photo of the parking spot helps
With children, food about an hour in works well.
Finish with the birthday cake.
