About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Sheffield Bottom is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning a party in Sheffield Bottom
Sheffield Bottom is about 4 miles south-west of Reading, in West Berkshire. People in Sheffield Bottom book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We serve 155 places across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
Within reach of Sheffield Bottom are historic houses such as Mapledurham House (4.4 miles north).

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
