Fresh fish and chips in Maiden's Green

How it works

There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. The frying and serving are down to us. Late-December sunset in Maiden's Green is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Maiden's Green

Is Maiden's Green too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Which station is closest to Maiden's Green?

The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 2.6 miles away.

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.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Maiden's Green?

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, Bracknell Forest included. Find your area.

What if the weather’s bad?

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.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Where the van can park in Maiden's Green

Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

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