Fresh fish and chips in Egham Wick
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, Egham Wick has light until about 9:20pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:05pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
