Party fish and chip van for Burghfield Hill events
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, it is light in Burghfield Hill until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Burghfield Hill questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Burghfield Hill?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Burghfield Hill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Burghfield Hill?
Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. With a van, home becomes the venue. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
