At a field event near Warren Row, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer fêtes in Warren Row have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

What else we do in Warren Row
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Warren Row: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Warren Row?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Warren Row from London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Wokingham. Find your area.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
