Questions from Madley Park
Is Madley Park close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Madley Park?
The closest is Combe station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
