How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. In Brookside, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Brookside
Is Brookside close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Brookside?
Ascot station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Where the van can park in Brookside
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send us a photo of the drive

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Food your guests will love

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
