Party fish and chip van in Hurst, fried fresh
It is a treat that feels special without being formal: fish and chips from the van, eaten in the garden. Typical bookings include leaving parties and milestone birthdays, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A country party near Hurst is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Hosting a chip van party in Hurst
Hurst is about 2 miles east of Woodley, in Wokingham. Parties in Hurst are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. We take the van to all 35 towns and villages in Wokingham.
For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Twyford station, about 1.4 miles north. If you had Loddon Nature Reserve in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park.
We cover parties in every part of the RG10 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Braybrooke Drive, School Road and Tape Lane, and the van can serve a party on any of them with a suitable parking spot. If your venue is just outside Hurst, we also cover Whistley Green (1 mile north-west), Twyford (2 miles north), Hungerford (2 miles north-east), Ruscombe (2 miles north) and Woodley (2 miles west). Further out, we also take the van to Reading (5 miles west), Wokingham (3 miles south), Earley (4 miles south-west), Crowthorne (6 miles south-east), Lower Earley (3 miles south-west) and Newtown (4 miles west).
Well-known places in the area include Berkshire Library & Museum of Freemasonry (2.7 miles south-west) and Wokingham Hospital (3.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Sonning Hill and Lavells Lake.
- Local schools include Waingels College (1.7 miles west)
- Local pubs include The Green Man pub (within half a mile north-east)
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your party. A summer party in Hurst stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Hurst
We are gathering after a service at Hurst Gospel Hall: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Hurst from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you come to Hurst?
We do. We serve events in Hurst and across Wokingham. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Wokingham. Find your area.

- Confirmation that the van can park there
