Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Room for the crew to queue
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
Bushey Mead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bushey Mead
Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bushey Mead?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you cover Bushey Mead?
We do. Bushey Mead is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ensure we can reach locations on the day
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
