St Denys questions
Could you trade in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Typically, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in St Denys are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
