Fresh fish and chips in Egham Wick
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Egham Wick
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. We are often asked to cater weddings and evening receptions and care home visits, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In a hamlet or village like Egham Wick, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Confirm allergies by email
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. By late September, sunset in Egham Wick is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up cooking all afternoon. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Egham Wick
Do you come out to small places like Egham Wick?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
