Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Away from emergency access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

FAQs for Maiden's Green
What’s the nearest station to Maiden's Green?
The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How far is Maiden's Green from London?
About 27 miles from central London.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you cover Maiden's Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Maiden's Green and across Bracknell Forest. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
