Whitegrove: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Whitegrove?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Whitegrove from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Generally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Whitegrove.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- No kitchen needed
- We cover Whitegrove and the whole of Bracknell Forest
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an end-of-day event in Whitegrove, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.

What affects the price in Whitegrove
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Confirm allergies by email
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
