Common questions in Riseley
Is Riseley close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Wellington Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you cover Riseley?
Yes, we do. Riseley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Flag any coeliac guests
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
