Twydall questions
Is Twydall close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Riverside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Twydall.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the space and the way in

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Light near the van after dark
- Away from emergency access
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
