Party fish and chip van in Maidenhead, cooked to order
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Whether it is family celebrations after a christening and engagement parties, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Maidenhead frequently happen at home or in a local hall. The van works at both, given somewhere to park. Timings are planned around your party, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.

What affects the price in Maidenhead
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Maidenhead?
There’s no kitchen to clear up afterwards.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Leaving parties
- Kids’ birthday parties
- Neighbourhood get-togethers
- Birthday parties
For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Maidenhead station, roughly 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Questions to ask before you book
- How allergens are handled
- The deposit and payment dates
- When final numbers are due
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.
What you get with us

Maidenhead: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Maidenhead?
The closest is Maidenhead station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you come?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Maidenhead?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Can the van park on my drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Maidenhead stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 generally the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
