Questions from Upper Green
What’s the nearest station to Upper Green?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
How far is Upper Green from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Do you come to Upper Green?

Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. An afternoon Christmas party in Upper Green can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there’s good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
