The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Late-December sunset in Oakley Green is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Do you come out to small places like Oakley Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Oakley Green.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
