Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Gardeners Green
Which station is closest to Gardeners Green?
The closest is Wokingham station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
How far is Gardeners Green from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the van can park on site
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Send round an allergy question
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
