Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Questions from Wrecclesham
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Wrecclesham?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll plan portions with the home.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For event organisers in Wrecclesham
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Count families who are joining in
- Choose a time around meals and medication
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
