Common questions in Clewer
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Clewer from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you come to Clewer?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Clewer and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Clewer: venues, parking and local tips
Clewer is about 1 mile north of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. In and around Clewer, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We take the van to 57 places across Windsor and Maidenhead, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 15 miles away.
A green space like The Goswells is tempting, but a catering van there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. Among the historic houses close to Clewer are Windsor Castle (1 mile east) and St Leonard's Hill (1.6 miles south-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on vehicles and caterers early.
Anywhere in SL4, we can bring the van to you. Whether your event is on Oak Lane, Vale Road and Mill Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the van to you.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- A short menu helps everyone
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Count children separately
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. In Clewer, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
