Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Questions from Taplow
Is Taplow close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Taplow too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you cover Taplow?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Taplow is within our area and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. To check your date, fill in our quote form.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help

Before you choose a spot

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
