Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Wexham Street
Do you come out to small places like Wexham Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Wexham Street close to London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. December events in Wexham Street lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
