About fish and chip van hire in RG5
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip days at care homes and big birthdays, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Fish and chip van hire in RG5: local guide
From Woodley to 0 villages and hamlets, bookings across RG5 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Woodley: If you had Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. PTAs at schools such as Rivermead Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Around midsummer it stays light in Woodley until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in RG5
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Wokingham included. See all areas.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
