Common questions in Dorney Reach
Could you trade in Braywick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Dorney Reach?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van come to Dorney Reach?
We do. We serve events in Dorney Reach and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send us a picture of the drive
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Dorney Reach drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
