Fresh fish and chips in Lake End
Party fish and chip van in Lake End, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. For reunions and family get-togethers and garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Country parties near Lake End suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Lake End questions
How far is Lake End from London?
About 24 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Contact us with your date.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Planning a party in Lake End
Lake End is about 2 miles west of Slough, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We take a fish and chip van for your party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Lake End and the surrounding area. We take the van to all 57 towns and villages in Windsor and Maidenhead, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Lake End to Reading (about 14 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that Burnham station is about 1.2 miles away. A green space like Haymill Valley is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.
We cover parties in every part of SL4 and the streets around it. We can serve a party on streets such as Lake End Road and Ashford Lane or the roads around them, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to parties in Dorney (1 mile south-east), Dorney Reach (1 mile west), Huntercombe (1 mile north-east), Cippenham (1 mile east) and Burnham (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidenhead (3 miles west), Windsor (3 miles south-east), Boyn Hill (3 miles west), North Ascot (6 miles south), Cookham (4 miles north-west) and Furze Platt (4 miles north-west).
A little further out are Windsor Castle (3.1 miles south-east) and The History On Wheels Museum (1.6 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Taplow Lake and Bray Pit.
- Nearby schools include The E-Act Burnham Park Academy (1.3 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include The Pineapple Public House (within half a mile south)
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Give us separate numbers for children
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Lake End is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
