Red Bus
Travelling Fish & Chip Shop In A Vintage RouteMaster Bus.
It is with great sadness that the ‘Pell family’ have to announce that Alan passed away yesterday morning. Alan loved the Red Bus and making so many lovely friends on his village round. We will all miss him so much.
Happy February to all you Chippy Chums.
I expect you wondering when we’ll be bringing the bus out again. There might be a delay as I’m currey out of action laid up in hospital. So, although I was hoping to let you know of our start-back date, I can’t at the moment. But I’ll post something here as soon as I know. Cheers! Alan - RED BUS
Sorry to say that we won’t be able to work this Thursday (Whaplode Drove and Gedney Hill) and Friday (Parson Drove) due to illness. This week was going to be the last service for a while as we usually get the bus serviced in January. So it’s frustrating that we won’t be able to see our fantastic customers for a while.
Have a very Happy Christmas everyone!
Watch this space for info about our new year start date.
We were pleased to serve lunch to all the staff at Fowlers Travel on Friday. Andrew Fowler about to eat his fish & chips whilst Alan, Julie, Annie and Luke Fowler keep warm inside the bus!
Come and say ‘Hello’ to Steve who’s frying tonight! Julie is on window and Al is packing.
We’ll be cooking your favourite meals 😋
Whaplode Drove 4.30 - 6pm
Gedney Hill 6.20 ‘ish - 7.30pm
Hope to see you!
The weather is looking good for today! We’re looking forward to seeing you this evening at Parson Drove - opposite to Swan Pub, 5pm to 7.30pm. All your favourite food 😋
Just to remind you we have some nice Whitby whole tail Scampi - 10 pieces succulent and crisp. Also our very popular 42nd Street sausage, regular or Jumbo, battered or plain.
How about a spoonful of mint sauce on your mushy peas - great match! Just ask when you order.
Come see us at:
Thursdays - Whaplode Drove 4.30-6pm
Gedney Hill 6.20-7.30pm
Fridays - Parson Drove 5-7.30p
Trying to do our little bit for plastic free oceans, all our food is served in paper based ‘bio boxes’ and paper bags.
Today we have some gorgeous top quality thick, flakey, white cod and haddock in our special crispy batter. 😋
Also, new Hot n’ Kickin’ chicken wings and choice of original Southern fried Chicken fillets or on the bone. Hope to see you later!
Sorry to disappoint but the bus won’t be working this week due to illness.
Hope to see you next week, though.
Sorry to our customers at Parson Drove but we are unable to bring the bus this Friday 19th as short of staff. Apologies, once again.
Hooray for cooler weather! Hope to see you this evening at Whaplode Drove 4.30-6pm and Gedney Hill 6.25 - 7.30pm.
Friday at Parson Drove 5-7.30pm.
Saturday at The Secret Garden Touring Park 5-8pm with music from Edison Lighthouse.
We’re taking a break this week, folks. It’s going to be hot again! See you all next week.
I was thrilled to hear from photographer Steve Smith who sent me pictures of our bus whilst in service in London between 1999 and 2004. Hope you find them interesting!
For bus nerds, Steve sent this info:
"Those on the (Route) 23 were taken at Marble Arch ( a good location for early evening pictures) and Mansion House near St Pauls Cathedral (a good but much more difficult location for long exposure / night pictures). I only managed one of it on the 7 but it was taken near the British Museum on the last evening of Routemasters on the 7 ( hence the special blind display). The bus was garaged at Westbourne Park and came out mainly on the 23 but occasionally on the 7. The staff at the garage took great care in maintaining their buses and they looked a treat on sunny days. Those days , alas, have long gone and I now live in Cornwall where Routemasters are virtually non existant.
I hope that you enjoy the pictures.
Steve Smith
We’re please to be back at The Secret Garden Touring Park this evening at Wisbech St. Mary. Come and enjoy fish & chips, a drink from the Garden bar and enjoy The Spree Rock & Roll band!
As well as our thick, white flakey cod, we have just received a delivery of beautiful Haddock!
Hope to see you later:
Thursday - Whaplode Drove 4.30 - 6, Gedney Hill 6.20 - 7
Friday - Parson Drove 5 - 7.30
Frying New Potatoes 😋

Ernie turned up this evening in the Postman Pat/Red Bus support vehicle at Parson Drove!
Due to the forecasted heatwave Friday, we’ve decided to give Red Bus (and us) a rest from the heat so won’t be at Parson Drove this week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We’re taking a break this week so won’t be on village round. See you soon 😀
NATIONAL FISH & CHIP DAY!!
We’re at Parson Drove - hope to see you 🙂
We had a great day at the Moulton Chapel Tulip and Flower parade. We’ll done all enclosed in putting on a great show. Dr. Who enjoyed his fish & chips!
Today, we’re taking RED BUS to the Moulton Chapel Flower Parade. This is held each year on the first Sunday in May and is a lovely village event with floats, vehicles, miniature steam, music etc. An amazing event! The parade travels through the village at 3pm and returns to the Community Centre and we shall serve food from the bus from about 12 noon onwards. Hope to see you!
We were very busy yesterday evening! Thank you all our customers and your patience at Parson Drove. We had one of our biggest single orders to serve! Looking forward to seeing you next week - look out for new items on our menu! 😋
Good News, Folks. We are returning to the village round, tomorrow Thursday 24th at Whaplode Drove/ Gedney Hill and Friday at Parson Drove. We look forward to seeing you all again !!
The road is still closed at Throckenholt so we’ll leave our village round for another week!! 🙁
Sorry about this, folks. Another update next week.
Hello everyone 😀. We were hoping to bring RED BUS out and on the Village run by now but the road is closed at Throckenholt. It should be open next week so, hopefully we’ll be back on the road. Looking forward to seeing you all again. I’ll confirm nearer the time.
Happy Christmas from all at Red Bus.
Hope to see you again in a few weeks after we’ve serviced the bus.
‘Back on the road, again’. Yes, we continue our regular Thursday and Friday evening Fish & Chips at Whaplode Drove/Gedney Hill and Parson Drove. Hope to see you.
