FAQs for Twyford
Could you trade in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Twyford?
Twyford has its own station: Twyford station.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Wokingham included. See all areas.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Do you come to Twyford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Twyford is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
