Windsor: your questions answered
Can the van park in Sutherland Grange?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Windsor close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How our fish and chip van hire works in Windsor
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will recommend what fits. For festive get-togethers and village fêtes and school fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce for your guests.
Most bookings in a town like Windsor are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. Each works well, provided the van can get in and park on level ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
