About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 typically the easier option.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

FAQs for Highclere
Is Highclere close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael Archangel?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- We cover Highclere and the whole of West Berkshire
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- A clear quote before you book

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Highclere until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
