Upper Woolhampton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Upper Woolhampton?
Midgham station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
How far is Upper Woolhampton from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
