Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Brent Park
Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What about parking in Brent Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What if the service runs late?
Of course. We start when you are ready.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Brent Park, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 normally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Mention allergies you know about
- Ask the venue about the van
- Cater for a few more than you expect
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
