Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.

Oliver's Battery: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Oliver's Battery?
The closest is Shawford station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can the van park in St. Cross Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van come to Oliver's Battery?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Oliver's Battery is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

About the food
