Questions from Woolton Hill
How far is Woolton Hill from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Woolton Hill?
Newbury station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you cover Woolton Hill?
We do. Woolton Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
