Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities about access
- Consider a pre-order list
- Collect allergies in advance
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Barkham questions
How far is Barkham from London?
About 34 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Barkham?
The closest is Wokingham station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Wokingham. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
