Fresh fish and chips in Bray
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evenings in Bray stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.

What else we do in Bray
Your questions about a fish and chip van in Bray
Is Bray close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Braywick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Bookings across Windsor and Maidenhead, including Bray
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
