Questions from Richings Park
How far is Richings Park from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Richings Park?
Richings Park has its own station: Iver station.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if timings change?
Of course. We start when you are ready.
What if we do not know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Richings Park is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, 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.
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
