Party fish and chip van in Wokingham, fried fresh
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. For kids’ birthday parties and neighbourhood get-togethers, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
A large place like Wokingham has lots of party venues, but home is frequently the best venue. Let us know about parking and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Wokingham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. With a van, home becomes the venue. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

FAQs for Wokingham
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Paul?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Wokingham?
Wokingham station, in Wokingham itself.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Count children separately
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Wokingham, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
