Fish and chip van hire across RG14
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. All it needs is a level spot it can reach, which most drives, car parks and yards can offer. Typical bookings include company team days and summer garden parties, with cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.

- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.

A fish and chip van across RG14: what to know
From Newbury, Speenhamland and Shaw to 7 villages and hamlets, bookings across RG14 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Newbury: If guests are travelling by rail, Newbury has its own station, Newbury station. After a service at St Nicolas Church, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. By late September, sunset in Newbury is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
Events we cater in RG14
Hot food on a cold or wet day is hard to beat, and the cooking carries on inside the van whatever the weather.
We can help if you’re planning any of the following:
- Milestone birthday parties
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Company team days
- Gatherings after a funeral
What affects the price in RG14
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

For event organisers in RG14
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, nobody misses the event.
What your quote should include
- The deadline for final numbers
- If the price includes VAT
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What the price includes, item by item
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Questions from RG14
Can you feed plenty of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
