Rayners Lane questions
What about parking in Rayners Lane?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can the van park in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What affects the price in Rayners Lane
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Planning a van visit in Rayners Lane

- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Access the van can manage
As a London location, Rayners Lane is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
