Common questions in Eversley Cross
Do you come out to small places like Eversley Cross?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Eversley Cross?
The closest is Crowthorne station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Information about power and water
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Summer events in Eversley Cross have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
