How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Englefield Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Englefield Green: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of Our Lady of the Assumption?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Englefield Green from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
