Fresh fish and chips in Egham Wick
Party fish and chip van in Egham Wick, fried fresh
We park on the drive or a firm spot near the party, with the serving hatch towards the garden. We are often asked to cater family reunions and naming days and christenings, serving pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
A country party near Egham Wick is perfect for fish and chips: fried fresh and eaten outside. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
What affects the price in Egham Wick
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the space and the way in
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Show us where the van would go
- Flag any coeliac guests
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Common questions in Egham Wick
Is Egham Wick close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
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 are not sure.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
