The menu, dish by dish

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Common questions in Lake End
Which station is closest to Lake End?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Lake End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lake End.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
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.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Keep the queue dry
- Collect allergies in advance
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Send people out in groups.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Plan your Christmas party in Lake End around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
