How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Long summer days in Baker's Wood, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.

Baker's Wood: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Baker's Wood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Baker's Wood from London?
About 19 miles from central London.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, if they’re in your numbers. Tell us the day before.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not 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 areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
