Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bushey Mead
Which station is closest to Bushey Mead?
Raynes Park station, in Bushey Mead itself.
Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bushey Mead.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

- How much space the van takes up

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Bushey Mead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or SW20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Mention allergies you know about
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Ask the venue about the van
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
