What affects the price in Little Chart Forstal

- Where you’d like the van to go

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
