What else we do in Enborne
Where the van can park in Enborne
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a late-May party in Enborne, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day

What we need to know

- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Enborne
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Enborne close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on my drive?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Enborne?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
