- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Ball Hill: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Ball Hill?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Is Ball Hill close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
