Common questions in Egham Wick
Is Egham Wick close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can the van come to Egham Wick?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Egham Wick and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
