How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. December in Woodley means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Common questions in Woodley
Which station is closest to Woodley?
Winnersh Triangle station, about 1.2 miles south of the centre.
How far is Woodley from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van come to Woodley?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Woodley. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
