What else we do in Water Oakley
Water Oakley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Water Oakley?
Taplow station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
Is Water Oakley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you come to Water Oakley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Water Oakley is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you come to a street party?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Water Oakley until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Count children separately
- Flag any coeliac guests
- A picture of the parking spot helps
When everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
