Party fish and chip van in Hanworth, fried fresh

Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for retirement celebrations and street parties and neighbourhood events.

In a place like Hanworth, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the lane, and we’ll do the rest. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How to compare vans

Takeaway run or book a van?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Which station is closest to Hanworth?

Bracknell station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.

Can you serve after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Hanworth and the rest of Bracknell Forest. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Do you need power or water from us?

A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

Do you do anything other than fish?

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

How the day works

Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Autumn and winter parties in Hanworth get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
