How fish and chip van hire works in SL1
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so every portion goes out hot and crisp. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for visits to care homes and day centres and staff lunches and team days.
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

Planning a chip van in SL1
Across SL1, we serve 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Slough: For a fundraiser at a school like Herschel Grammar School, the van can trade from a pitch agreed with the school. A green space like Herschel Park is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Late September evenings in Slough 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Put allergy details in writing
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Can the van park on the street?
