Our fish and chip van hire in RG18
We keep the menu to the classics: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and school events and garden parties and summer get-togethers, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

A fish and chip van across RG18: what to know
Across RG18, we serve 3 towns and 14 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Newbury, Thatcham and Shaw to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Hermitage: Nearby historic houses include Shaw House (3.4 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit vehicles, so ask early if you’re booking one. Churches such as Holy Trinity rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Light matters for evening service: in Hermitage, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Questions from RG18
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
