What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

FAQs for Dorney
How far is Dorney from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Dorney too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Dorney?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
