Burghclere Common: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Burghclere Common?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is Burghclere Common too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
