What affects the price in Twyford
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. A wake in Twyford in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Where the van can park in Twyford
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
