FAQs for Wildridings
Which station is closest to Wildridings?
Bracknell station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Wildridings close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
A chip van compared with other options
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
