FAQs for Mill Green
Is Mill Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Mill Green?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 2 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
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.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
A chip van compared with other options
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. In summer, Mill Green has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
