Lower Caversham questions
Could you trade in Eldon Square?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Lower Caversham from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van come to Lower Caversham?
Yes, we do. Lower Caversham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
What affects the price in Lower Caversham
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies

What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your staff
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Summer events after work in Lower Caversham have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
