Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Questions from Englefield Green
Could you trade in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Englefield Green from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from bedroom windows
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
