Common questions in Bexley Riverside
What about parking in Bexley Riverside?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Which station is closest to Bexley Riverside?
The closest is Barnehurst station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
