A chip van near Hungerford
Party fish and chip van for your party in Hungerford
It’s a treat that feels special without being formal: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We are frequently asked to cater engagement parties and family celebrations after a christening, with cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Country parties near Hungerford suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How we price a fish and chip van for your party
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

About the food
Curry sauce

Haddock and chips

Common questions in Hungerford
Which station is closest to Hungerford?
Twyford station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Hungerford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
