Winkfield Row questions
Is Winkfield Row close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Winkfield Row too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Away from emergency access
- Lighting for later visits
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Winkfield Row, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
