Common questions in College Town
Could you trade in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to College Town?
Blackwater station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning a Christmas party in College Town
College Town is about 1 mile south-east of Sandhurst, in Bracknell Forest. We cover College Town as standard, so your Christmas party just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to all 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest. Our bookings stretch from College Town to Guildford (11 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as College Town Primary School, suit a chip van. Christmas fairs at a church such as Royal Memorial Chapel can book the van as a hot-food stall.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the GU47, GU17 and GU15 postcode area. Local streets include Moray Avenue, Egerton Road and College Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Keep the queue dry
Stagger groups so the queue stays short.
Festive lights by the van look great.
What a fish and chip van costs

- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What else we do in College Town
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
