About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

The Warren: your questions answered
How far is The Warren from London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around The Warren?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Bracknell Forest. Find your area.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
What affects the price in The Warren
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Anything awkward about the way in
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- What’s available on the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
