Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send final numbers the day before

- Agree how the base is left
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Lunch is planned around the call sheet, and a contact keeps us updated.
A dining area at base helps.

FAQs for Farley Wood
What’s the nearest station to Farley Wood?
Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
How far is Farley Wood from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you park at the unit base?
Generally, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What you get with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, daylight in Farley Wood ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
