FAQs for Cookham
What’s the nearest station to Cookham?
Cookham station, in Cookham itself.
How far is Cookham from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Cookham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Organise staff to carry food in
We set up before the mealtime.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Away from emergency access
- Light near the van after dark
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Cookham
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. For a summer visit in Cookham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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 residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Ensure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
