A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Common questions in Knowl Hill
Is Knowl Hill close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Knowl Hill?
The closest is Wargrave station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Firm, level ground close to the home
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
On the menu in Knowl Hill
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Knowl Hill, 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.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or RG10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
