DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Tutts Clump
Which station is closest to Tutts Clump?
Aldermaston station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's 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.
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 service around it.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Make sure the van can park legally
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Finish with the birthday cake.
