Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How our party fish and chip van works in The Village

Country parties near The Village suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Midsummer parties in The Village stay bright until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in The Village? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in The Village
Can the van park in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is The Village close to London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

See our prices page or the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- 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
