How our fish and chip van for events works in Richings Park
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and community events and school summer fairs.
Near Richings Park, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. December events in Richings Park lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a chip van frees your helpers. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Tell us about the pitch
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
Plan where the queue forms.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Planners, venues and businesses

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- What’s available on the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go

FAQs for Richings Park
Which station is closest to Richings Park?
Richings Park has its own station: Iver station.
Do you come out to small places like Richings Park?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
Is everything cooked fresh?

When do you arrive?

Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
