Neames Forstal has its own station: Selling station.
Is Neames Forstal close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is typically wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you serve in the cold?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Takeaway run or book a 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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Send people out in groups.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
