A chip van near Cookham Dean
Step by step
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Cookham Dean, 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’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Cookham Dean
Do you come out to small places like Cookham Dean?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Cookham Dean from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
