Our fish and chip van hire in RG41
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for staff lunches and team days and milestone birthday parties.
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- We arrive early, set up and get the fryers hot.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Chip van hire across RG41
Across RG41, we serve 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Lower Earley, Winnersh and Woosehill to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Winnersh: PTAs at schools such as The Forest School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like St Mary the Virgin, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. Planning an evening event in Winnersh? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Fewer choices mean faster service
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it is handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in RG41
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; tell us which you’d like for your event.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
