The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, which we agree with you beforehand. In Mortimer, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Common questions in Mortimer
Can the van park in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Mortimer?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Mortimer?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

- Access and parking
