About fish and chip van hire in RG45
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around RG45. We’re frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and milestone birthday parties, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Chip van hire across RG45
RG45 covers everything from Crowthorne, Priestwood and Farley Wood to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan parking and access; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Crowthorne: Coming by train? The closest railway station is Crowthorne station, roughly 1 mile south-west of the centre. PTAs at schools such as Crowthorne Church of England Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. In Crowthorne, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
A short menu keeps service quick.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
What affects the price in RG45
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
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.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork.
What your quote should include
- What the price includes, item by item
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- When payment is due
Your questions about a fish and chip van in RG45
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Wokingham. Find your area.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
