Common questions in Dorney
Can the van park in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Dorney?
Burnham station, about 1.4 miles north of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if the service runs late?
Yes. We start when you are ready.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll let you know quickly.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Windsor and Maidenhead included. See all areas.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
