Ryeish Green questions
Is Ryeish Green close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Ryeish Green?
The closest is Reading Green Park station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Plan your Christmas party in Ryeish Green around the dark: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
