Fresh fish and chips in Langley
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Langley
Can the van park in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Langley from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you cover Langley?
Yes, we do. Langley is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Send the unit base address and directions
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Bins at base keep the location clean.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning a shoot in Langley
Langley is about 2 miles east of Slough, in Slough. From the centre of Langley to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We cover all 31 towns and villages in Slough, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 18 miles away.
Within reach of Langley are historic houses such as Windsor Castle (2.7 miles south-west) and Frogmore House (2.8 miles south-west). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the van will need a base agreed with the property. For crew arriving by train, Langley station, about 0.5 miles east, is the nearest station.
For shoots in SL3, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many crew. Streets in the area include Fox Road, New Road and Ives Road, and the van can serve a shoot on any of them with a suitable parking spot. We also bring the van to shoots in Middlegreen (1 mile north-west), George Green (1 mile north), Shreding Green (1 mile north-east), Upton (2 miles west) and Richings Park (2 miles east). Further out, we also take the van to Cippenham (4 miles west), Britwell (4 miles north-west), Burnham (5 miles west), Stoke Poges (3 miles north-west), Huntercombe (5 miles west) and Farnham Common (4 miles north-west). Being one of Slough’s larger places, Langley has lots of places where the van can park.
Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Eton Life (2.6 miles south-west) and Windsor Castle (2.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Staines Reservoirs and Uxbridge Moor.
- Nearby schools include Langley Academy (less than half a mile south-west) and Upton Court Grammar School (1.1 miles west)

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Langley?
Compared with sandwiches on set, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
