Questions from Binfield Heath
Is Binfield Heath too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it is light in Binfield Heath until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

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.
