Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bracknell

Bracknell station, in Bracknell itself.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to Bracknell?
We do. Bracknell is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
