Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
FAQs for Crowell Hill
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.
Which station is closest to Crowell Hill?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.

What else we do in Crowell Hill
The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Lunchtime bookings in Crowell Hill are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
