Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Touchen-end by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Touchen-end
Is Touchen-end close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Touchen-end?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you cover Touchen-end?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Touchen-end and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How many people should we cater for?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
