Common questions in Fawler
What’s the nearest station to Fawler?
Fawler has its own station: Finstock station.
How far is Fawler from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes

- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Light near the van after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day

For a summer visit in Fawler, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden visits easy. 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 picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
