FAQs for Bradwell
How far is Bradwell from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Bradwell?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Bradwell?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bradwell and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Bradwell
The Christmas season is short and busy, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for lights switch-on events and staff Christmas parties.
Near Bradwell, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
