Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

Padworth Common: your questions answered
Can the van park in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Padworth Common?
Aldermaston station, about 1.7 miles north-west of the centre.
What does the van need?

Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
