Is Tourner Bury close to London?
About 62 miles from central London.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do work Christmas parties?

How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
