In Cookham, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
What affects the price in Cookham
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Cookham, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
