Langley: your questions answered
Can the van park in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary the Virgin Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is short notice a problem?
Contact us as soon as you can. We will let you know quickly.
Do you cover Langley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Langley and the rest of Slough. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Langley; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
