Shaw: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Shaw?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can you come onto our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For a staff lunch in Shaw, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
