About fish and chip van hire in RG9
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. We serve curry sauce, gravy and cod and chips, and we are often booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and garden get-togethers.
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Planning a chip van in RG9
RG9 covers everything from Henley-on-Thames, Sonning Common and Lower Shiplake to 34 small villages and hamlets, and the van works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access. The Chilterns National Landscape is within easy reach of places across RG9, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events.
Henley-on-Thames: For a fundraiser at a school like Trinity Church of England Primary School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. Churches such as Holy Trinity Church rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Late September evenings in Henley-on-Thames lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
Why a fish and chip van works
Fish and chips suits nearly every crowd, from children to grandparents. It also gives people something to queue and chat over.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In RG9, people book us for occasions like:
- Garden get-togethers
- Community events and fairs
- Visits to care homes and day centres
- Birthday celebrations
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- The number of meals
- The day of the week
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event

FAQs for RG9
Which fish do you use?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
- 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
