Owlsmoor: your questions answered
Could you trade in Edgbarrow Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Owlsmoor from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you come to Owlsmoor?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Owlsmoor and across Bracknell Forest. Send us your date to check availability.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us

- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Owlsmoor is about 1 mile north of Sandhurst, in Bracknell Forest. Owlsmoor is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Owlsmoor is one of 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Owlsmoor to Reading (10 miles away).
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St George's Church, is a good occasion for a van visit. Residents who remember days out at Wildmoor Heath may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips.
We serve care home visits across the GU47 and RG45 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a care home visit at a home on Oak Avenue, South Road and Church Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to care home visits in Sandhurst (1 mile south), College Town (1 mile south), Crowthorne (1 mile north-west), Blackwater (2 miles south) and Frogmore (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Bracknell (4 miles north), Wick Hill (5 miles north-east), Priestwood (5 miles north), Lawrence Hill (5 miles north), Binfield (5 miles north) and Quelm Park (5 miles north).

What else we do in Owlsmoor
For event organisers in Owlsmoor
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Owlsmoor is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
