How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Yattendon: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
- Have a level parking spot ready

FAQs for Yattendon
Is Yattendon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Yattendon close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
