No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
