Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Binfield Heath

Which station is closest to Binfield Heath?

Shiplake station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.

Is Binfield Heath close to London?

About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Is the food cooked at the event?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.

Planning for dietary needs

We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Haddock and chips
