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. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach

- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Touchen-end: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Touchen-end?
Maidenhead station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Touchen-end?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
