Cockpole Green questions
Which station is closest to Cockpole Green?
Shiplake station, about 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Cockpole Green close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about visitors who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

How the day works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. December events in Cockpole Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What comes out of the fryer
