Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Name a contact in the production office
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us a map or what3words for base
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Englefield Green
Could you trade in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Englefield Green?
The closest is Egham station, roughly 1 mile away.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Room for the crew to queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
Why choose a fish and chip van in Englefield Green?
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why book our van in Englefield Green
- A menu almost everyone likes

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Long summer days in Englefield Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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 is fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Englefield Green
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
