Princes Risborough questions
Which station is closest to Princes Risborough?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan cover for the queue
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A chip van gives a choice. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
