Fresh fish and chips in Richings Park

About our party fish and chip van in Richings Park

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We’re often asked to cater anniversary celebrations and street parties, serving gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

Near Richings Park, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

15 questions to ask before booking

Takeaway run or book a van?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

What the van needs

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. The main points are:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we serve

  • Gravy

Common questions in Richings Park

Do you come out to small places like Richings Park?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Which station is closest to Richings Park?

Iver station, in Richings Park itself.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Do you need power or water from us?

Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

How much space do you need?

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Richings Park parties: what to know

Richings Park is about 3 miles south-west of Hillingdon, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Richings Park to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Richings Park is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 18 miles away.

Within reach of Richings Park are historic houses such as Frogmore House (4.2 miles south-west) and Windsor Castle (4.4 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler. A christening at St. Leonard's followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.

Wherever your party is in SL0, we can fry fresh for your guests. From Apsley Walk, Wellesley Avenue and Syke Ings or a nearby road, we’ll bring the van to you. Close by, we cover parties in Iver (1 mile north), Shreding Green (1 mile north-west), Langley (2 miles west), Middlegreen (2 miles west) and Iver Heath (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover High Wycombe (13 miles north-west), Chesham (15 miles north), Marlow (12 miles north-west), Amersham (13 miles north), Beaconsfield (9 miles north-west) and Chalfont St Peter (7 miles north).

Well-known places in the area include British Airways Heritage Collection (2.5 miles north) and Windsor Castle (4.4 miles west). Open spaces near Richings Park include Uxbridge Moor and Staines Reservoirs.

  • Local schools include Langley Grammar School (1.9 miles west)
  • Pubs nearby include The Tower Arms Public House (less than half a mile east)

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party

These are the factors that matter most:

  • The number of meals
  • Distance and any road charges
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The menu and how many choices

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

Details that help

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

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Expected numbers
  • Anything awkward about the way in

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

How it works

Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A summer party in Richings Park stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
