Questions from Pangbourne
How far is Pangbourne from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Pangbourne?
Pangbourne has its own station: Pangbourne station.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
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 much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Give us break and shift times
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Collect allergies in advance
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
