The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We are frequently asked to cater food for volunteers and country shows, with chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Baker's Wood
Which station is closest to Baker's Wood?
The closest is Denham Golf Club station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you come to a school fair in Baker's Wood?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Baker's Wood.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will agree access before the children arrive.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter fairs in Baker's Wood are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
