- The day of the week

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Wexham Street
How far is Wexham Street from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Wexham Street?
Slough station, about 2.3 miles south of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Wexham Street?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Count families who are joining in
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
