Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Priestwood
How far is Priestwood from London?
About 22 miles from central London.
Can the van park in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?

How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
