Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Priestwood
Is Priestwood close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Priestwood?
Bracknell station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you come to Priestwood?
Yes, we do. Priestwood is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, it’s light in Priestwood 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 tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
